I haven't really got the time or inclination to catalog it. Anyone in the portsmouth uk area fancy boxing it up and making a silly offer? Has to be collected! |

Being somewhat of a camera and glass nut....it's a sad day when I hear of someone selling or breaking up a collection.
Financially and if time isn't of the essential...why not sell the pieces individually.
I do hope this is not related to a personnel matter....and no matter what Wishing you all the best Martyn!

Urgent health issue. Need to clear down the house. Tried to photo and catalogue stuff a few weeks ago. Was taking far too much time and energy. I just want them to go to a good home. Roughly a hundred or more lenses mainly m42. Want to keep the 5D II in case I ever get to use it again. |

Ian, if you could, you could keep the proceeds, for bothering to travel that far! With this little lot you could become a dealer! |

Martyn: Most if not nearly all the people on this forum know you only from your posts, but I see their concern and share in it myself. While the lenses are at issue here, the concern is much more for your well being. You've been a good chap and I personally have enjoyed your posts. I wouldn't pry into your personal affairs, but do have the impression this is very serious indeed. In that case please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear this.
As someone who travels hundreds (sometimes thousands) of miles by car very often, I wish I was in the UK. Maybe that sort of travel is a U.S. thing. I hope someone is able to help and offer a fair price. |

Hi Martin
Hope you get well soon.
If you don't get any sensable offers...perhap me and my wife can help.
I'm not too far away..in Caterham Surrey
Between my wife( a stay at home mom ) and I we could photo, eBay and post them for you less 10%(eBay charges and effort)
Some may sell well some not but hopefully you will get a better return.
This will take a little while to complete and I fully understand if you don't want to do this from some random forum person(me).
If we can help the offer is there
Kind regards, Stephen |

Hi Stephen, that's a very kind offer. I may well take you up on it. If I do, the deal will be 25% for you, the rest to charity (of my chosing). I have a meeting this morning, from which I will know more of my situation. I'll let you know. /\/\ |
