You don't really have to buy a brand new camera, although brand new camera's usually come with a warranty, a manual and you don't have to worry about hiden problems. However, what would you rather drive a used BMW, or a brand new Toyota Corolla ? Sometimes you can get more bang for the buck buying used, just saying. -

My first camera was an Isomat Rapid, more than 50 years ago. The receiver cassette does have a stub of film protruding after the roll is finished. I used to load my own cassettes, from 36 exposure standard cassettes. -

Hi there Adrian - can't help with Foca, unfortunately...I've never seen one. They may not have made it to this part of the world. -
I realise I'm 13 years late to this thread, but I have a Foca PF2 that I am a bit stuck with. I'll also message Gus, as he's still around here. For some reason this is only pic I have to hand... [url=https://flic.kr/p/21sEVqB][img]https://live.staticflickr.com/4637/38370515415_b0bc6b63f0_o.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/21sEVqB]Foca PF2?[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/gray1720/]gray1720[/url], on Flickr There's a Chinese chap on YouTube who has posted a dismantling video and, as mine is very definitely kaput, I figured I'd have a go at it (I've done a few other cameras, mostly Compur or Prontor shutters, and most have survived, so I'm not a complete novice, more an incomplete novice). However I'm stuck at the shutter cockinngn/speed setting knob. In the video, there is a small screw (or pair... memory getting worse!) that can be unscrewed to get this off. However mine hasn't got one - it has a notch on either side that is exposed when you lift the knob, but there's no screw under it. I'm at a loss as to how to get it off. Any ideas would be very welcome! Many thanks, Adrian
