Hi Tom,

I recently picked up an old 'Mat with Lumaxar lenses on eBay. I
haven't had time to finish the roll yet, but I'll post a few
pictures as well as my opinions when time permits. I think it should
be okay, the camera seems to be as good as the seller described it,
with nice clean lenses and very good overall condition. The camera
looks like a winner, but I'll have to see prints first to be sure.
