For sale is a very interesting camera with a lovely lens. The Tenax II produces about 50 square negatives on a standard roll of 35mm film. It has been with me on some lovely trips, but now I need to prioritize and focus my photography endevours.
The camera has a flash X sync port on the front (which works well, and I have shot a lot of flash with this camera). This is extremely rare; standard Tenax II's have no flash sync.
The camera works perfectly (rangefinder accurate, shutter speeds good, good wind mechanism, etc), except that the frame counter doesn't automatically advance. This has not been a big deal for me in practice because on this camera one can turn the frame counter manually (it's designed that way in order to set it to "1" at the beginning of a roll of film, like a Leica M2). So if I shoot 3 frames for example, I just manually advance the counter 3 frames.
The lens is fine, with no fungus, haze, or scratches. There is a little dust in the lens and finder as might be expected for their age. The lens has a small amount of oil on the aperture blades.
The camera comes with a rubber, collapsible, lens shade, but no lens cap.
350 GBP, plus the cost of shipping to your location. (I'm located in Denmark.)

A NOTE ABOUT MYSELF
I've been a long-time member of Rangefinderforum (RFF) under the same name as here ("sleepyhead"). On that forum there is feedback on buying and selling transactions that I've had over the years. On Ebay, my name is "sleepy65sleepy", and I have 100% positive feedback on several hundred transactions.
POTENTIAL TRADES - I'm on the lookout for the following items
Tamron Adaptall 2 mount for M42
40mm f/2 Voigtlander SL lens in M42 mount
85mm f/1.8 Pentax Takumar in M42 mount
Other interesting M42 mount lenses
