Bargains still to be found

Just bought a Spotmatic F along with a job lot of filters, zooms and a Tak 200mm f/4 and Vivitar flash for not much more than £50.
Attached to the camera was a SMC Takumar 50mm f/1.4!

I've checked on eBay and I should at the very least make my money back which means I got the 50mm Tak for free!

Currently playing with the flash (which fires ok on the 60D) and a Vivitar 5R multi image filter.

I'm going to enter the lottery this week.

Be careful with the Vivitar flash, some produce very high voltages through the hotshoe and can damage modern cameras.

There's a good list of flash voltages somewhere, I'll go and look for it.

Here it is, it's the most up to date list available I think.

Thanks for the heads up about the flash. It's a 728AFC which is 5.8 volts.
I've had my fun with it now though - I'm more of a natural light kinda guy (no doubt until I realise a flash will be useful). It can go to someone who might appreciate it via eBay.
