While waiting for PhotoWorld, I got two film SLR cameras today :P
(with their darn bulky leather cases :D)
One in M42 mount :

Yashica J-5 w/ a Auto Yashinon 5.5cm f/1.8
(really very limited info in the Net but the lens looks very promising)

and

one in my favorite SR mount:(image borrowed from www.rokkorfiles.com, 1 of my fave Rokkor sites)
My first SRT101 w/ an MC Rokkor-PF 58mm f/1.4
