[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 666856, member: 24285"] [ATTACH=CONFIG]286039._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]286040._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]286041._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]286042._xfImport[/ATTACH] Well, despite my dearly beloved's insistence there was no more room in the display case I had to make room for this 1954-57 Yashica MAT 66. It comes from a close friend of mine who sadly is facing his last days in palliative care so a rather sentimental acquisition. I could wax philosophical and talk about how we feel about all the things we've collected, polished and put on display only to wonder what will happen to our treasures once we pass on as we all will someday. Recently read an article in some retirement magazine entitled "Your Kids Don't Want Your China or other stuff". But I shall spare you all those deep thoughts. This is one well treasured and cared for piece of kit that came with fond memories, and a vintage Sekonic light metre for good measure. BTW I didn't expect it to be loaded with film when I opened. looks like it was on photo one or two, so hope the remaining film is still usable. Don't know if I will use it though? Can 126 film still be developed? [/QUOTE]
