Hello to All, Douglas. As you mentionned your new acquisitions and because it's friday so we can indulge into mercantile communication, I would like to offer for free (if you accept) this Beltica (with a Tessar): http://xavierf.b.free.fr/Temp/beltica/_1040825_dev.jpg Alternate is http://xavierf.b.free.fr/Temp/beltica/_1040824_dev.jpg Other views in http://xavierf.b.free.fr/Temp/beltica/ All with Digilux 3 and either a 35 summicron or 24 elmarit, at dusk Douglas, as you can see, the parts are separate from the body, the sutter seems jammed (IMHO) but the bellow looks OK. All parts are there except the 135 canister to take pix once in order. This is why I spent "a handfull of cherries" (in French) for it. It seems not so common (and a tessar...) I have no time to deal with it, though I would like. C'est la vie! If you like it, let me know your address (offline) and the parcel goes off , free :) In case you don't like it let us know, some one else may like it.... Same conditions, free! cheers---------------------------------Xavier F.
