I'm starting to clear my house a little of some unused camera equipment so I can convince myself that buying some other old lenses is a good idea. I'll post some pictures soon. I'll ship worldwide from the Netherlands. I'm dick_b on ebay if you'd like to check.

First up are some Praktica cameras and lenses:

- 2x Praktica B200 electronic body only, €10 each
I haven't got the matching batteries, so I haven't tested these properly. Mechanical shutter speeds run properly. Clean film pressure plates, one has a few marks on the focus screen, the other's is clean.

- Pentacon Prakticar 1:2.4 f=50mm MC B mount €15
Pancake type lens, hardly any wear on the lens. Focus is not completely smooth, a little bit of dust between the elements. Clean aperture blades, glass without scratches or fungus.

- Pentacon Prakticar 1:2.8 f=28mm MC B mount €15
Hardly any wear on the lens. Focus is completely smooth. Clean aperture blades, glass without scratches or fungus but with some marks on the coating.

- Pentacon Prakticar PB 4.5~5.6 / 80~200 MC B mount €8
Sigma zoom, like new apart from a circle of very light haze on the inside of the front element.

- Praktica B mount automatic bellows €40
In very good condition, hardly any signs of wear. Only on the tripod mount of the built-in focussing rack.

It turned out that the Sigma zoom was fairly easy to clean. So no more haze and an enormous price increase to €10.

Not a bad lens that Sigma, I got lots of use from mine with a BC1 body back in my student days.
