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.

Not too shabby for the price. I definitely would have jumped on it if I saw one around here.

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.
