I assume this is some chancer with a red pen and some stick on accessories?

Dodgy camera.

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

last time. I can't make out what use the extra knobs
are
Half Man... Half Pentax ... Half Cucumber

So a soft touch release, the rewind knob from a Practika and some red Humbrol enamel creates a rare Special Edition. Well, to be fare, it is rare.

Didn't a bunch of us report it as a scam last time?

I don't remember anyone reporting it. Dangermouse made a
few additional comments about it.

It had a lens originally but didn't get any bids.

Going by the fact that this 'special' doesn't show on any history sites, this thread has a nice comememorative honey coloured spotty( ignore the posts and scroll down to the image)!

I'm with youKris and think it'sjust a joker trying it on.
Cheers, HG

K110+DA40, K200+DA35, K3 and a bag of lenses, bodies and other bits.

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

PPG entries.

I'm with Ken here, re the soft release shutter - yet they fitted the unique matching grip which is identical to any other ME winder that has a standard shutter release....

It seems that this also featured on the US forum, which is
the one where it was reported to ebay, but no action was
ever taken.

Seems the film dial on the back is off a Retina Reflex

You can see why it is so rare, it looks awful.

Still a snip for something no one else has!
