Hello all, another bout of collectivitis!
I shouldn't have left the house today!!
50 Euros poorer, but a couple of rather nice shiny (but still very
dusty) additions to my display cabinet.

A Voigtländer VITO IIa - some tiny patches of rust and the film
indicator on the rewind knob is unreadable, but everything inside and
out works as it should

Voigtländer VITO CLR - the cheaper version with a Lanthar 2.8/50mm - the
meter and everything else works, only the paint on the side of the meter
wondow on top is rubbed off.

The most expensive part: 30 Euros altogether, including a leather case.
An almost like new Kodak Retina IIIc - the meter works too, shown here
with the finder for the accessory lenses, the bakelite lens shade and
the accessory lenses were part of the deal too

The accessory lenses - still in their plastic keepers, look as if
they've never been used (which is understandable, it's a terribly fiddly
business involving acertaining the distance with the RF, noting the
setting for the standard lens and then transferring it to another scale
at the bottom of the focusing ring)
I even bought some film to put them through their paces.
Cheers from a rather happy Douglas in Hannover
