Topcon RE Super

I finally found one of these in the UK that didn't cost an arm and a leg. The Topcon RE Super, introduced in 1963, was the first SLR camera with through-the-lens (TTL) metering. (Pentax followed with the Spotmatic a year later.) It's a big heavy beast that feels very well engineered.  This is a camera that I coveted as a teenager pouring over the pages of Amateur Photographer.
