Accessory shoe

The advertisement p.121 of "Showa10" does not clearly say that the model III adds an accessory shoe. The picture of the ad p.224 seems to show that the model IIB has one. Moreover, Minosan's example has one. --Rebollo fr 13:21, 29 July 2006 (EDT)

I'm tempted to suggest that even the company, or companies, that made this camera probably couldn't even decide whether or not it had one -- or indeed just about anything else (e.g. their own identity). I always wanted an "Elbow flex", for its nutty name;* now I think if I saw one I might just drop it on the floor and jump on it in frustration.
*I don't have a display case or want one. But I did dream of buying a tiny display cabinet, just for the single examples I hoped some day to find of an Elbow flex and a Lord Martian.

I'm sure that you'll want one even more when you hear the motto: エルボでマンボ (found in this page). --Rebollo fr 18:44, 29 July 2006 (EDT)
More "seriously", I think that all the models had an accessory shoe. My first comment was not well written, in fact the ad says that the model III has one, but does not say anything about the model II having or lacking one. All the examples I've seen have one. I'll put it in the page. --Rebollo fr 18:46, 29 July 2006 (EDT)
