Thanks for making one of the back also. Great camera with a very technical feel to it.

ps...It came with the original flash with an unused bulb with really makes it look like a machine from mars.

I thought someone might get a kick out of these, Bill. Actually the controls on this camera are not that different than the Arguses, Zeiss Ikons or Kodak Retinas of the period (& far less complicated than today's Nikon's digital slr menus ;)), just more ostentatiously laid out. I remember a street photographer was peddling Buck-a-Shot pictures to the tourists in NYC with this camera when I was a kid. I was very envious but never owned one until I found this one on Ebay.

Great entries jp. Basic but complicated with no internet and forums where you can seek advice and not even bother to read the manual or figure it out for yourself. Different world. Bill
