Thanks for the comments guys. It would be nice to honor the Singlex & put it back into action seeing as it's a Vietnam vet (it actually has a large dent in the bottom plate which conjures up a lot of possibilites as to what happened to cause it), but as for getting it back into shape, being a casual shooter it's been challeging just trying to give all my buddies some exercise. I'll keep it in mind though. As for the Mamiya, it's stouter than the Yashica for sure, but close to or maybe smaller than the SLR's below. Being an accountant i tend to think of the size difference relative to the size of the negs and so when i consider 24x36 mm relative to 6x7 cm, the Mamiya seems way too small ;)

Hello - I've been lurking here for a long time - but now being retired I'm looking forward to shooting more and contributing more to the forum(s). Here are my film buddies. The only non working one is the Singlex which was given to me. The seals are shot and I'm not sure I will get it serviced, but I have used its Auto Rikenon 55 1.4 on my K-5 and am pleased with the results.
