Very nice, I like the 500 and its cousin the 519.

Good info Chris, something I can use personally on a couple of my oldies.

Looks good. I have a Viscount, a couple III's, and 2 Aires Penta 35 SLRs. Of course both SLRs refuse to work after I bought them.

Like all good art, this one was temporary and fleeting. Morons smashed it to bits overnight. At least it survives here.

Great minds Bob. I was walking my dog while the family built these. Two adults and five little kids. Even told them how I enjoyed them.

Like cameras, more of an amasser than collector. I like Shakespeare baitcasters etc. from the pre-70's back, steel telescoping rods, have a split cane Shakespeare flyrod as well as a Great Lakes rod/reel combo. If you've never seen one, the reel is inside a bubble that forms the main part of the handle. Oldest lure I have is for Great Lakes fishing possibly for trout. It's from Feb. 28/1922 but has no other manufacturer marks. Fun to collect at yard sales.

For all their simplicity, plastic cameras like these are more fun to collect than any SLR or RF I can name. Basic shutters and film advance but some amazing shapes and names.

Very cool Doug and one I hadn't heard of either. OK, I'll give you $1.99 for it, LOL.

Nice collection Bert. Glad to have you in our group. I have a few Exaktas myself but no Rollie TLRs, just more common ones.

Mine has the BEWI light meter. Interesting they're the same camera but so different.

Interesting, Mine looks different: Neither one looks the same. Not up on my Arettes though.
