I've just read that the Simlar brand was replaced by Topcor in 1955.

I had Topcor 5cm f2 lens - great lens. Build quality excellent, nice quality results. Pretty heavy, but very nice to use. It was around 200€, so not expensive in comparison what it gives.

Now the OP should see if he can get a real Leica for $10.

Don’t you have a genuine Leica advance lever you could send him? It would be a start.

Dood, those go for at least $150. This is one of those times where it would be cheaper to buy the whole camera, than bits of it.
Like buying a Nikon 28-80G attached to an N55 for $20, rather than the lens by itself for $40.

C'mon, start your own thread!

Some of us do not have sufficient priviledges to do so.

I desperately need a 120 medium format camera in good working condition, with good optics (both performance wise and condition) for $10 (or maybe a bit more).

I am very poor these days, and want to be able to take advantage of Kodaks price reduction.

Autumn bump, still looking, including, for any bits and pieces that might help with LTM, M, bodies, and my beautiful CL.

You want a second one?! If you get it, I'm gonna start a couple of my own threads 😄

No, I have a beautiful Leica CL, a 'M' camera, wearing a LTM adapter, which did come out of this request and is an everyday carry kit, but, I've yet to find a 'M' body or LTM Barnack, which is/are the original origin of this thread.

The CL is an excellent camera, even with my FSU glass, but it is not a Leica built M or LTM Barnack.

This should not surprise anyone, as I did post, after receiving this little jewel, that this request would continue until I find what I'm looking for.

Otherwise I would have closed and deleted this post.
