You are a bad influence Wayne!

Btw, how's your new Elmarit-M? And when's the big sell-off?

The Elmarit-M is fine. Slow down. I haven't seen any photos from the new lens yet. Sell off? Is that allowed???????????????????? I'm the guy who started the "What to Sell" thread that was largely ignored. Buy is the only word that draws a crowd here!

I have held that Nicca for sale above. I just wish I had paid attention. I knew it when it belonged to the previous owner who is also in Houston.

I know less than nothing. Talk to Zebulus. The previous owner called it a Nicca Tower 3.

That is all.

Wayne out!

Tower 3 is a replica of the IIIa I think, so that's an ok price really.

I knew it was a clone of the III & Canon IV series. I actually held the camera briefly when the previous owner had it. I just don't remember much about it.

It's also listed on craigslist Houston.

I'm the guy who snatched up the Nicca (Tower Type 3)

Zeb was a nice guy, and gave me a free roll of film and nice camera strap to boot!

Loading the film is a PITA, but the camera sure is nice.

I should also add, if anyone has a good user copy of a Canon 50/1.8, let me know!

Also, the vertical RF alignment seems a little off, is there any way to adjust it without a full CLA?
