I'm using a cheap 28/35 viewfinder that I got from KEKS. It's really very cheaply build and made but I think I can live with it. Fits in the hot shoe but I used a velcro adhesive since I have the KEKS M-meter in the hot shoe.
Reveni Labs makes an adapter for this kind of thing:
It's reversible so the second shoe can be on the left or the right, so it doesn't block access to your shutter speed dial.
But I guess this wouldn't work with the KEKS M-meter...I forgot about the design of that one! Never mind, but I'm leaving this comment here in case anyone needs a double shoe mount.

Up for grabs are two folders for FREE. If you want one, simply reply with a quote of either "Isolette" or "Voigtlander" and we can discuss the details over PM. Only one camera per taker. My only request is that you don't ask any questions - take it or leave it.
Agfa Isolette III 75 mm f/3.5 Solinar
Known issues:
Light leaks. See top right of negatives.
Voigtlander Bessa I Skopar 1:3.5 10.5 cm
Known issues:
Light leaks. See bottom left of negatives
Focus seems off at f/11 though f/4 was ok
Suspect film flatness issue
Suspect a previous owner was a smoker
Given these issues, I don't think it would be fair to list either in the classifieds, so they are available for free to a good home. I won't even charge you for shipping and handling.
Edit: Seriously, don't PM me, instead reply/quote so people know what is taken/available. If you are the first one, THEN we can discuss the details in PMs.

Took the Yashicaflex out today to test my eyes ability to focus. Kentmere 400 in used 1:1 xtol (50ml stock replenisher), 13 min at 70 degrees. The siren call of AF grows stronger

Waving folders in front of an addict -. Voigtlander Bessa I
I think there is a same-ish familial fingerprint that runs through the line-up of 35mm Voigtlander high-speed aspherical optics (regardless of max aperture).The look from the Voigtlander 35mm f/1.5 reminds me of the first images I saw from the Voigt 35mm f/1.2 Nokton V1. There is something about the combo of good resolution, smooth/modern bokeh, high vignetting, high global contrast/lower micro-contrast that gives the images a kind of plasticy look that I enjoy.
The little Kodak Retina IIa has been sitting with a partial roll of Fujak 200 since early spring. Last Saturday I took it out to give the Lumo meter a test run. I headed to Central Beaverton which hosts the largest farmers market in the state. I showed up early, found a parking spot and took pictures of just about everything but the farmers market. Loved the compactness of both the camera and meter.
