Oh, man! I really want to get one of those! On eBay, I feel like they're a little overpriced, but once a get $20 to throw away, I'll buy one. There are actually two of them: one black, one silver. You gotta love how it comes with a Reflex lens. I get a kick out of that every time I see it!

Niko: Unfortunately my Steky is a regular one with no "Made in occupied Japan" marking. None of my Japanese cameras have this. As you say, they are very expensive, especially if they come with the original box. I have the leather case for the Steky but it needs some attention, especially the strap which has gone completely, but I can replace that. It just needs some time.

Ebay is nice but what I love - and it's part of the pleasure - is to visit flea-markets. I made some good buys, especially from guys who believe these subs are nothing but toys.

I tried bidding on a beautiful (at least in the sellers pics it was beautiful) black F. I was winning and then some "athol" outbid me at the last second!:^(

Ohhh, the fun and excitement of eBay!

Wow I was just looking on Ebay and mint full size Nikon F black camera in mint shape are selling for $1000+

Anyway Bernard, Yours looks just like mine with the extra lens and duster

Pete

Anytime Bernard :^)

Does your Steky still work? I've heard that some Steky cameras have "Made In Occupied Japan" stamped on them. They are rare and worth more than "regular" Steky cameras. Is yours one of these?

Haha, I have yet to find a camera that makes the D40 (?) look massive. It kinda looks like someone placed a D3 next to a D40. :D

Nice purchase. :D

Thanks Niko !

Yes ! That Steky is a beauty. If anyone comes across the tele lens for it (Yes, the lens is interchangeable !), please send me an email. Or any other subminiature you may find for a good price. I'm always looking for these cute little cameras.

One of these days I will take a picture of my collection and post it. Please be patient because I have a zillion things to do first :o)

Posting these pictures up for Bernard.

I love that Steky III

It's a bit late now (Yawn… :o), nearly 10PM. I will take a picture tomorrow and send it to you via email. I'm still trying to find out how to post a picture… :o(

Can you post a picture bernard?

No, I do have a Nikon F2 Photomic and a Nikomat but not an F. It's a good idea to get the same full size one and display them together in a glass case. An F should come rather cheap on a flea-market, even if it's got a few scratches which can be repaired quite easily.

Yep ! I've never seen such high quality in give away toys, even Kinder. And it's a lot smaller than I thought too, which makes it even more cute. If I can, i might get the silver one and flash one of these days… :o)

Santa came early, this morning in fact, and brought my tiny Nikon (Less caramels). It cale the same way you received it bmxdad: Very well packed in some Japanese newspaper page. It includes the body, the prism, two lenses, and the little lens brush. It is soooo cute !

Do you have the same in full size, I hope to find the same in full size next year, enjoy yours, is it not amassing that they actually gave out these for free with some candy, sure beats anything my son has ever found in his kinder surprises

If you don't fear from heart attack, visit the Minox web site at http://www.payworxx.de/minox/index.php

Look at the cameras, not the prices… :o)

This is where all the Sharan production has gone to. No wonder you can't find any in Japan these days !

So does the shutter release work? Aperture dial? Shutter speed dial?

If they don't all work, I'm not buying it.

Jeez, I'm only a poor college student with a D40. :D

They have fixed aperture and 1/250 shutter speed

Pete

Difficult to find and process minox spy film anyway

Yes but you should see and touch one ! Especially the Rolleiflex ! It's a piece of jewelry ! And they can only go up in value, better than any other investment. :o)

If you keep monitoring ebay you might get a good bargain some day :o)

Holy crap!

Almost $300 for one?

Never mind...

I thought it was smaller than that too. Didn't know it was 1/3 scale.

Here are two addresses you may want to check:

http://sha-ran.co.jp/c-s-main.html

I'm afraid that's the only one they produced unfortunately, but do a search for the Sharan's web site. You might be liucky…

Is there a mini FM2 as well? I wouldn't mind getting one.

Waouw ! I'm glad you got it ! You need a nice little glass case to display it now. They make some nice ones for plastic models of planes, cars, or boats.

I hope Santa thinks I've been a good boy this year…:o)
