S3D Beautiful 2.8!

["Dr. George A. Themelis" <DrT-3d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The 2.8 arrived and I am pleasantly surprised!  The case is mint.
The camera is a late model, with an "Olden" logo in the nameplate
under the Realist.  The camera body in addition to the DOF scale
and double exposure button, has unusual late features like:

- design in the shutter release button,
- "Wind" and "Rewind" lettering in the buttons
- A hot shoe that is ready for flash (no, "bump" has not been filed
  down... it has a built-in flat contact)

The lenses are 2.8 "Germany"

Inside the lens board it has the following penciled markings:

G. T.  10-20-70

Which indicates that this camera was built in 1970, one of the
latest Realists I have seen!

In light of the above, I am tempted to keep it for myself 
(hey, it even has my initials inside!)  But, as with everything
I own, I can be tempted with a good offer! :-)
