Hallo Alexander
A few hours ago I became the (PROUD indeed) owner of a beautiful 
Belplasca. I already possess a Realist 3.5 and a Realist 2.8 but I could 
not resist......the price was calculated in US dollars  $ 455.-. The 
camera looks excellent. 
SN: 09252   , lenses: 4708621/4708622
I assume the little contact in the bottom of the camera is for flash.
I need a manuel, but ordering only for this at Reel D in America is 
perhaps unnecessary. I have e-mailed already on this to Franz Beck.
Well, I am rather excited, you can understand.
Best wishes, Klaas Morcus
