Well I'd almost forgotten about this quest - but not quite. The Contaflex sold for a disappointing £26. A real bargain for such a great piece of engineering. The cash didn't burn a whole in my pocket though and it was nearly a year before I spent it on a Kiron 28mm f2 lens at £15.99 and a Hoya 135mm f2.8 at £10. This time however I found them at a local charity shop.
The Kiron looks in very good shape, whilst the Hoya seems to be almost unused.
I'll try them out and report back before selling them. I think I did well on the Kiron - it has a good reputation - but I'm not so sure about the Hoya.
Total assets are therefore these two lenses and a leather case for the H2 Penatx which I still use on my S1A. I'll try and move this project along a little now and get a bit closer to that 'Blad.
