The 57/1.4 is an amazing lens. It's one of those old fast normals that are sharp and have a lot of characters, and one of the best among them. Mine has blades a bit sticky, and I haven't still found time to open it and clean them, but I always bring it in the bag even if the iris doesn't work perfectly.
The 103A is a solid performer, and the Teleconverter will be a really nice match for your 19AH (not only for that of course).
Congrats for the bargain.

No, no too much!
The 1.4/57 alone is worth that money! It's one of my gems for the NEX.
And the Tamron also is a nice lens. Congrats!

I don't know anything about Konica, but the Vivitar 285 is worth more than what you paid for everything, especially if it's the 2nd version that has the black (not gray) back. Same goes for that Tamron 2x. It routinely sells for what you paid for the outfit or a bit more. It's a great TC by the way.

Hi Michael.yes it is the black one,I already have 2Tamron 80-210 but it doesn't hurt to have another for resale.The Autoreflex T is as new not a mark on it,what interested me most was the 57mm it had a iens cap on in sales pic but as far as I know Konica only made 2 57mm lenses,the f1.2 & f1.4 so i figured I couldn't lose, the f1.4 sells around the $250 range and this one is also in mint condition.Nice to have all Manuals and original invoices.Regards kryss. |

May not common knowledge, Konica was oldest Japanese maker just like Voigtlander in Europe, they made highly respected pricely items,
price level dropped only in digital era. All Konica is bargain today, hence people learn slowly how they are great on mirror less cameras.

I started with 3.5/135, 3.5/28 and 1.8/40 on an FS-1 filmbody. Results were very very satisfying! Since then i bought the 1.7/55 and the 1.4/57.
Finally today my NEX adapter was delivered, so i can start using them at last on digital!!

congratulation on your purchase kryss! 
I envy with you guys, in your place (Europe and America especially) you can find these good lenses in a local camera store or flea market and bought it for a good deal
here in Indonesia, very hard to find a good deal price and if I buy through ebay, I have to pay additional shipping cost. which means the overall price becomes more expensive.

Hi kopi234.... Thanks for your reply,tell me more about yourself,what type of photos do you like shooting and with what equipment,I shoot mainly Macro flowers and I am sure there are many exotic species where you are located.It could be possible that depending on equipment you like to purchase we could form a friendship and find your needs cheaper here and make arrangements to buy on your behalf and then ship it to you.Think of an item you would need and we could do a trial run and see if it was feasible.Regards kryss |

it would be very help, thank you for your kindness. I'm glad to have a friend like you.
I'm new to photography, so I shoot everything that interest me.
I use Nikon D60 with several nikkor and m42 lenses. Currently, I have no plans to buy lenses, I'm saving to buy a mirrorless camera.
sure, I'll contact you if I was going to buy a lens.
many endemic species of plants and animals here in Indonesia, maybe you know about komodo, orang-utans, bunga bangkai (Amorphophallus titanum) and patma raksasa(rafflessia arnoldii) for example. i believe Indonesia is the world's second largest biodiversity.
btw just call me ryan, that's my real name.
warm regards from Indonesia

I made a couple shot of flowers, not sure if both are local exotic flowers.
I dont have any photos of patma and bunga bangkai, both are endangered flowers.
You can read the info on wikipedia:
