My long awaited almaz has finally arrived with case,spare screens, flash shoe and sync cable. I am most impresssed with it, and will post some photos after Christmas. It seems to have a very late serial 8600117, and lens is 843958. The other unusual thing is that it has only the 'x' pc sync port and not the 'fp' one, has anyone ever seen this before? I will amend the catalog when I can. If anyone has access to a spare cocking/winding on lever I would be most interested, mine has the plastic part missing, I have replaced it with part from a Yashica Fx-3 for now. Have a Good christmas everybody and soon my Zenit 412 will be here! HO HO HO!

Samsung GX-10,too many Russian Lenses,some Zenit,Yashica,Pentax Bodies and a Minox35GT

Congrats! I have had totally four A103, and all with both X & FP. Two from 1984 and one from 1985, one I have not recorded. A great camera IF you get one that is working, and handle it smoothly to keep it working. No rough using for these babies!

Best regards,
Juhani
