Irresistible - so I didn't...

Resist, that is

I had to do it, been after one for ages, poor thing looked so lonely...

Looks like the Rollei 35 is displaced...

Funnily enough if this is the one from the bay, I seriously considered bidding myself.

it's actually cool !
yashica was the first slr i touched.

it look a bit like disposal camera, but I could easily see myself with this in the streets doing candids.

Arthur, very nice and rare, I hope you will get it going, I am sure you will would love to see how it performs.

Yup - a great little camera, much overlooked and as you say, a bit on the rare side. It's not even a pocket full, which is why I wanted one - got the Rollei's and Minox's of the world beat for size and versatility. OK, only got 1/125th speed but it's not like it's a main camera or anything, just an emergency thing. To be fair, it was a close-run thing between one of these and a Konica A4... but I do have rather a lot of Konicas already

Well, here it is in all it's glory, all working and ready to play...

... and then this arrived today, one of the lesser-known Minoltas from way back - the Minoltina P, meter and zone focusing, auto shutter, Rokkor 38mm f/2.8, pretty much same size as the Partner... for the collection though so will get a roll through now and then rather than prolonged use.
