My second copy of Canon FL 100/3.5 just arrived  . 29 EUR with shipping - as it is far from perfect copy plan is to remove aperture lever mechanism so it will become full preset lens to be used with T70 and nex. |

Hi, a Nova quad is a freestanding vertical, thermostatically controlled slot processor for paper, 3 chemical baths and a wash bath, hence quad.

I dropped in at one of the local thrift stores and went straight for the shelf where
they put the cameras. Nothing except for some cheap plastic rangefinders . Then I
noticed the " camera guy" standing beside his desk, I asked him if he had any
cameras back there. Yes , he said , one just came in and he showed me an older
Mamiya slr. I`ve seen many Mamiyas but not one this old. Then the lens that was
attached to it caught my eye. One of the first thoughts was...great , I can use this on
my pentax kx digital. The lens ring said...Mamiya-sekor 1.7 58...yes58...mm. So I
forked over the requested $10.00 and walked out a very excited GAS patient. |

Not so sure how much of a bargain this was today:
Canon EOS 1000 FN Camera
Sigma 35-80 f4-5.6 DL Zoom
Sigma 70-210 f4-5.6 UC Zoom
Camera Case with extended nose
Soft Case for Lens
£29.99 in Barnardos |
About the right price - absolutely no more. The 1000FN is a good camera, very plasticky but nice and easy to use. It makes shooting film as easy as digital. I have the non flash version and love it. Yours is a little more versatile.
BTW there is a Hove book for this model on Amazon at a penny plus postage http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/090644781X/ref=sr_1_1_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1409866888&sr=8-1&keywords=canon+eos+1000+book&condition=used

Well I'm off to Barcelona in the morning and I opted to take the Minolta Dynax 500i for my film shots. Once I have tried out the Canon when I come back I will know if it is a worthwhile addition.

Hey sammo, great prices! But a question: isn't your Nikon macro either a 55mm or a 60mm? I've never heard of a Nikon AIs 50mm macro.

Jammy b*gger!
I'll offer you 100% profit right away, and you can't say fairer than that... 
The later Tech IIIs had nearly all the features of the Tech IV, but no front forward tilt. Also, the lensboards are square-ish, not bevelled on the bottom corners, as became the standard board from the IV onwards.

You're correct, it is a mistake. It is 55mm  |

I got the exact same, from Freecycle. Did I take it from you?
Just received a complete (bulb, condenser, ground glass, boxed) Meopta Opemus 6 black and white enlarger w/EL-Nikkor 80mm f5.6 lens both MINT for £11.5 + £9.98 postage from eBay. I was actually considering selling the Durst as it's bulkier and I couldn't use it due to lack of light bulb.
What do you recommend? Is the Durst worth keeping in this condition? It's too big and my wife isn't happy with that huge box under the bed. Convince me to shift it, or convince me to keep it?
Also other bargains:
Takumar 85mm f1.9 (in tatty condition, good glass but sticky aperture which I fixed) for £20. I love this lens.
Pentax 40mm f2.8 pancake in K mount (which is now in EF mount) for £25 posted.
+ Some other bargains that were too bargainous that I am too afraid to talk about.

I have no idea if it's a bargain or not... I just bought this lens for 40 euros on ebay, strangely I was the only bidder (very strange given the hype of the crazy fast crap lenses)... I will try to make a mount for it and take some pictures with this thing. Can't wait ! A f/0.75 !!

It isn't sharp wide open and it doesn't have enough backfocus to be of any use other than macro on digital camera's. 40 euro still isn't expensive though, but don't expect any more use than paperweight. |

I think I still have the bulb for the Durst if you want it (somewhere!). the power supply was knackered. so the enlarger was 'recycled' the body may make a useful medium format camera.
I'll look for the bulb and let you know if I have it.

It could have been a great deal, turned out to be just a good deal.
Saw an ad for an "old camera" along with a grainy mobile phone photo of a Praktika with a telephoto lens mounted. The seller had no idea what lens it was, other than it being a telephoto, the aperture range was from 2.8 to 22 and mfd was 1.1 m (he never understood to take the cap off to read the name on the ring, even though I tried "coaching" him on where to find it). I realized it had to be a Meyer-Optik Orestor 100/2.8, and he was asking 15 € for it. Picked it up yesterday, along with a Pentacon 50/1.8 he didn´t mention in the ad, only to find it was the 6-blade version with auto aperture. I hadn´t done my homework and thought that all Meyers had 10+ blades and the change to six blades came when they changed the name to Pentacon...
Dirty and greasy, stuck aperture blades and a (for digital cameras) useless auto aperture, but managed to clean it and lock the pin to make it usable. All in all a good deal, now I just need to try it out.

Great buy, especially if its the earlier type (with the serial number on the front ring and f16 as the smallest aperture). But even if it's the later compact one, $10 is hard to beat.
Is is a bargain? Is the Pope Catholic?

Thanks bud!
Don't know nothing about that Vatican dweller but the lens has those 2 features:serial number on the front ring and f16 as the smallest aperture.
What would be the value under those circumstances?

I suck at finding good deals...and my weekend yard sale hunting has proven fruitless so far.
In any case by far my best and only real bargain has been the Rokkor X 50mm 1.4, Minolta X-700 film camera, bag and a 200x Flash for $15 bucks
Oh and I think I got a damn good price on a mint Canon FD100 F2.0 for $200 compared to current sales prices too. |
