Wow - one of these came up on ebay for about £60 a couple of months ago. Funnily enough it didn't hang around for long!

I've got one too! Complete with leather case but no mains adapter.
I was quite surprised it worked.
BTW I haven't seen a silver ESII, I thought they were always black.

My flash didn't come with the case or a mains adaptor... but it does work.
Silver ES/ESIIs are quite rare which is why I took the chance that I can get it repaired.
Best wishes, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

My lady love has just told me that my ESII has come back from Eric Hendrickson having been repaired. Only annoying thing is that I am in Texas this week! I'm looking forward to playing with it next week. Should be fun...

After a short panic when it didn't appear to work (a fresh set of batteries cured the problem) all is now well and I am looking forward to running a roll of film through it.
Now I have an ES, a ESII, and SMC Tak 28, 55, 135 and 200mm lenses, I have all I need for the occasional M42 only day of photography. What fun!

No, The silver ESII were a bit like the black Spotmatics. Just a bit harder to find though. Mine is chrome
My Superlite came with the case and instructions as well. If anyone wants a version of the instructions, try the usual place

I don't need the manuals Kim.... probably because I haven't got any of the cameras, but a big Thanks for providing the service if it's needed.
I started off with two new Black Spotmatics in the early 70's

A fine vintage set-up Kris. What I most admire about you is the the fact you use the equipment you own rather than just collect old stuff for the sake of it.
Best wishes,
