Recently picked a CZJ 135 zebra up for £10.

Already have a SP500.

Nice to use together, when will we see some shots using this nice setup?
Cheers, HG

Mustn't forget the Zenits, or folders, or...

Are you aware that the later SP500's had the 1/1000th of a second shutter speed? Not marked on the shutter speed dial there is another 'click' after the 1/500th of a second position, this will give you 1/1000th of a second. So the only difference between the cheaper SP500 and the more expensive SP1000 was the writing on the dial.

Always amazes me to see mint bodies like this, mine are individually customised with brass showing and asymmetric profiles

I thought that was on ALL Sp500's

It has been on the several I've had any way...

My Dad has one with a particularly amusing customisation, the pentaprism must have taken a whack at some point in its life, so that the world as viewed through the SP500 is always at about 10 degrees to the horizontal. Makes composition....interesting
you don't have to be mad to post here



but it does help
