That's too bad. The waist level finder was very interesting. It had a built-in 10 X magnifier to really focus your image. Many time I used it and got a razor sharp images.

[quote=amatt662]It was an adjustment for me with the shutter on the left side. My Dad was a lefty. It is likely what appealed to him about this camera. I found at first, tough to hold the camera, working the focusing etc. from the opposite side and pressing the shutter using my left hand. The more I shoot with it, the more comfortable it is.[/quo

One of the nice features was when you triggered the shutter release, you triggered it towards your face, which led to less vibration and a steadier camera. By the way, do you have both finders, the waist level one and the pentaprism ?

I bought one while I was stationed in Germany back in the 50s. I've used it all the time and until the digital revolution and have loved it. It's still in perfect working order after 70 years. If you can get the manuals, read them, it was amazing camera for the time. Unbelievable functions including being able to load from cassette to cassette. You could cut the film out of the camera after taking a few shots and go to your dark room and print them out. Many times I used this function. Here are two pictures of the camera and the carry case with all the s lenses and finders. It took wonderful pictures. I heartily recommend you go online and get a manual for it and read it and find out about all its wonderful mechanical functions. You wont regret it.

Here in New Jersey we are overrun with deer in our suburban area. There's no hunting here!

A great story! We have had a groundhog and their offspring continue living under our shed for the last 35 years. They have one or two babies every year. This year we only had one, and he's doing very well!

He will only get within 3 feet of my wife. She then puts it on the ground, where he eats it. He's still a little nervous around her. He won't let me get within 15 feet!

This is a young stag that was born on our property. My wife feeds him an apple every day. He sure is growing fast!

Thanks angler!

Our domestic dove ,Cupcake. We've had him three years since we started dove-sitting for our daughter. He had a mate, Muffin, that passed away then, and we took over. He's a very sweet bird, and very tame. We let him fly around the house a little, every day.

Thanks Tazzy!
