Questions & Comments

any chance of free shipping? just asking. If not, what methods do you accept for shipping price? paypal, etc...Question, so does the shutter cocking mechanism work or "on and off" does the shutter fire, and the other adjustments work? Are the Lenses both looking through and taking lenses CLEAR of dust/debris/fungus/haze? And btw ... I LOVE this camera, very Nice auction.

Wow you ask some really great questions! :) Shipping fees are set at one flat rate (non-refundable). The shutter mechanism as well as the other adjustments are a bit sticky but functional. Camera (lens included) needs to be cleaned before we can determine full functionality.

Oh, have you taken any pictures with it? just wondering of the turnout.

Funny you should ask this because I, personally, have not taken any photographs with this camera. However, my father-in-law purchased it new somewhere around 1960 and used it to take a vast majority of their family photos.

I usually bid late in the game, i really hope I have enough to win, but am doubting it as i just used the majority of my credits winning an argus c-four a few days ago, i'll keep my fingers crossed though, cause I really want this baby. I should have listed somethings but i just saw this the other day. Anyways, sorry I tend to ramble alot. If I dont win this one, you wouldn't happen to be listing any other tlr's or slr's film cameras, I LOVE Carl Zeiss lenses, and Zeiss Ikon cameras, Yashica cameras and Lenses, Fed2 and German cameras/lenses and older/antique film cameras. Hoping to win this one. Thanks, and sorry for the rambling. :)

No worries I am a good listener and have found that those who ramble are the ones with the most interesting conversation. :) So ramble on my friend you never know who could be listening.
