Whilst I have some OM's to do, I also have some others, Electro 35, MJU, 35RC&D
etc ...
Also it would be nice to be able to sell some of the cameras I trade in, to
feed
my almost-Oly addiction, with new seals.
If anyone needs a 35mm Yashica & is prepared to pay postage from New Zealand.
Please ask, I might have one available. I'm currently culling what I've got to
aid Oly additions.
