Excellent slideshow. I like the man with the Sousaphone, but then I would, wouldn't I?

Well done Andrew. You sure have been busy! I was pleased to have got my 23rd acceptance. I hadn't submitted any for ages but recently put a batch in and am waiting for the verdict. I never think of re-submitting a failed image, perhaps I ought to tweak some of the failures and try again.

Both the Contax/Yashica mount and the k-mount were introduced in 1975 according to camerapedia.org

The corrected colour version of "Rupert" (re-named "Time passes") just got accepted to the PPG. I'll admit to being pleased that this one got in.

It might amuse people to know that the second of these pictures received a large number of views on Flickr in the first 24 hours since it posted. The "camera porn" brigade really put my viewing figures up!

One of those lenses just sold on ebay for a bit more than I was willing to pay. No early Christmas for me.

Back on topic... I can think of one or two lenses I wouldn't mind getting my hands on, mainly older glass. What I would really like in the New Year is to get a darkroom up and running but that seems unlikely...

That was part of the problem, I didn't actually know what I was looking for and I didn't manage to hit "buy" in time on the one I eventually found! Assuming what I found was a genuine M series tripod spacer then it looked rather like the securing thumbscrew in the base of a Spotmatic case, just a bit smaller in diameter and with a slightly different shape. Obviously it has a tripod stud on top and an identically sized socket on the underside to fit between camera and tripod.
The thing you describe sounds more like one of these which was for the 110 camera?

Actually the A series bodies came and went while the ME Super remained in production:

ME Super 1980--1986
Super A 1983--1985
Program A 1984--"unknown"
A3/A3000 1984--1985

Information from Bojidar Dimitrov's site.
