Hello Richard and welcome to the forums
I have a fifties Praktina FX that gets used now and again and a Praktina IIA which unfortunately needs a bit of tlc plus more Prakticas than is really healthy and no doubt there are a few more on Fadu with classics hidden away

Richard - Thank you for your welcome to me, which I reciprocate. I do own the three Super Ikontas - 6x4.5, 6x6 and 6x9 (with the mask still present) - which are all fun as portable cameras. They are in varying states but all usable and with clean lenses and fully operational shutters. They take to NPH (or whatever son-of-NPH is called now) like a dream. Your light conditions are probably more accommodating in Jersey than ours are here.

Welcome aboard Richard.

When you get the time, I'd love to see some shots of the island(s) uploaded to your Album pages - it's quite rare to see shots of the Channel Islands other than the usual holiday snaps

Cheers, Bob.
