HI, just thought I would tell you about the two cameras that arrived today.
The first is a Kiev 80 to go with my Kiev 88 TTL. The 80 came with the body (naturally), Vega 12B 2.8 90mm, WLF and one 6x6 back. I will probably keep this one for studio work an the 88 TTL for location work. The leatherette on the 80 is peeling in places, so a recover is needed, but the main thing is it is fully functional.
The second camera is a Practika MTL3 with Pentacon Auto 1.8 50mm with multi coating. The listing said it was for parts only as the lens assembly was rattling. When it arrived, there was absolutely no rattling in the lens. This thing works beautifully. The only thing wrong with it is the seals, and the shutter speed marking disk (or whatever it is called) is missing. But overall not bad for less than $20 including postage.
