My brother is trying to downsize these days; when we were down there for my dad's 85th last summer, he asked if I wanted any of dad's old camera gear. All 135 stuff, and a lot of it in kits I have no accessories/lenses for. However, there was a Hanimex 35SL in there that seemed in good shape. M42, and I have a ton of that stuff. Sure - send that up, please.
Happened to arrive both on my birthday and while I was in recovery. Turns out it's pretty much an entire kit:
Pretty much a straight-up Spottie clone. Camera works fine. Haven't been able to test the meter, though I suspect that is defunct (though, the meter on my Spotmatic works just fine). Thee are four lenses, a 3x TC, a branded Hanimex flash, some other flash two cases, and a handheld meter. Was not expecting that.
Hopefully will be ambulatory enough in short order that I can hobble around some little local town and run off some film. Guessing the seals are likely shot, too, but looks like a fun little camera.
