One of the rarest Topcon accessory is the UV mount adapter. If you look at a UV mount lens, it has no aperture control ring. Works on a UV mount camera as the camera has an aperture ring on the mount. the other Topcon cameras used the R or RE mount (based on exakta) so they made an adapter. Not that many were sold, or maybe they got discarded as people though it was just random lens parts… at any rate they rarely show up for sale anywhere.
After partially disassembling the lens, I was able to free the adapter. No wonder it was wobbly, it was held together with only one of 3 screws. And, I doubt this is original, but there was a o-ring in the sandwich of parts making up the adapter. My guess is that the o-ring was added to compensate for the 2 missing screws, leaving a path for light to enter without it.
The aperture stop spring and bearing was also missing.
Not Queen Latifah, just a camera. At launch, the Auto 100 came with a 53mm f2 lens and 2 optional lenses, a wide 35mm f3.5 and a 100mm f4. Not long after that they added a 135mm (a massive affair) and a 200mm f4 (the Topcon RE version was 5.6). With the lauch of the Unirex, they would later add a 28mm for the UV line (wink, uni / auto 100, unirex, ic-1). They are called UV #topcor because the glass is coated to block UV, making a uv filter superfluous. #camera#topcon#lens
A little local restaurant. A few tables and booths.
