Hi Galen ! Great finds ! I guess the Sears is a privat label from some store, a Pentax is always good to have , never seen a Kodak Signet here in Europe, I like the Russian FED`s, they are just like tanks MIK

...and all I acquired in 2010 was a bout of flu. (Well it wasn't actually flu, but it was some 'virus' or other.)

Photax,
The Sears is a relabled Ricoh that takes Pentax K mount lenses that was sold buy a major department store here in the States.
The Signet 40 is a well built little rangefinder produced by Kodak in the late 50s
Also, Yes I love the FED, I have a roll of film in it now. It's nice heavy handful and as you stated it is built like a tank

So are Galen and I the only ones that picked up cameras last year? I was under the impression that was one of the reasons he started this thread.

OK, Here goes! ;D Quick and dirty photos! A passel of Oly point and shoots, and an XA3 with flash. The XA3 is the only one that doesn't work. The shutter won't cock. Three perfectly operating SLRs, and a Canon RF with a stuck shutter. I've posted pix from all three SLRs at previous times. The weirdest SLR I've ever seen. I don't think it has ever been used, and probably never will be! And at only 3 1/2" X 4", one of the smallest folders I've ever seen I acquired several pieces of kit also, notably a working Weston Master Universal w/case, and a mint condition Tamron Adapt-all 2 80-210 zoom.

I did forget one that a buddy gave me, (don't have a picture) It's an all black Minolta Hi-Matic AF 2 I usually don't go for point and shoots, but It's a well made little camera and most important it's a Minolta

I bought a few on eBay, a few locally here and there. Don't post them much anymore because it was getting to look more like bragging than sharing and that usually ends badly. I put a few photos of my new toys on Flickr but even there I almost never get a response so sort of self flagellation. I admire both Galen and Roy's new goodies. Too drained with this durn (2 weeks now) headcold to do much but work, sleep and whine, LOL. Anyhow maybe I'll get a short list or a photo or two together in the next few days.
