Just introducing myself. My name is Simon and I have been collecting film cameras for the last couple of years. I have several makes, but the most numerous models are Miranda, Pentax, Minolta, Praktica and Topcon. My collection is listed here simonhawketts.com/vintage-camerasI found myself on this forum today looking for information of Taron rangefinders since I've just purchased one from eBay.

Welcome Simon! The first classic camera I bought was a Taron rangefinder.
Post a picture of your Taron and I am sure that some member will know about it. Lots of knowledgeable people around here.

Welcome. I like your avatar. If you can make one that good, I'm sure you'll figure out how to post photos here!

Thanks both - yes I'll post some photos once i receive it. It's a Taron unique complete with two supplementary lenses, a couple of flash guns and the optional viewfinder for the lenses. It was described as the shutter not working but I'm hoping it's the self timer mechanism needs a bit of coaxing. Anyway, so that it doesn't feel lonely I've also picked up a Taron VR yesterday which is also in the post!

Sounds nice and right up my street too. I like the old cams with the tele and wide lenses.
