Welcome. That is a fine list - what do you mount those Topcors on to? and how (if it is not a Topcon camera)? How does the 85 topcor do? We would all appreciate samples of some of the more exotic lenses you have in this list, Smile Smile

Geez! Looks like you've been rather busy these past nineteen years! Have you built a database to keep track of them all, by any chance?

Back when I was a camera dealer with a rather large inventory, I didn't have nearly that many lenses. I've visited a lot of camera shops with large used lens inventories that don't have that many.


PostPosted: Sun Dec 06, 2009 3:02 am    Post subject: Reply with quote

impressive list.

what camera bodies do you use with these lenses?


PostPosted: Sun Dec 06, 2009 8:44 am    Post subject: Reply with quote

160 lenses? Gobsmacked.......you would need a strong cabinet for the total weight of all those lenses.

Not only a long list, but also a very nice one!!

Welcome!

I also had 150 lenses, but never at the same time: buying, selling, buying, selling etc... In the last months rather selling, selling, selling... Wink

Hello Patrickh !

I have 5 Topcon cameras in Topcon RE mount. All Topcors use to be great performers. That means sharp pictures and very good constrast. And Topcon cameras are among the finest pieces of mechanical camera industry and weights at least as much than Zenits. I think that 85/1.8 Topcor is my finest lens in that focal lenght. And allso 25 mm is very good. Filters put in the back of the 25 mm. lens like Russian Mir-20 and Zenitar.

Hello!

In my home I have only 57 m2 space. So you can imagine you can't goany places without seeing any cameras except toilet. I have 7 vitrins and wardropes full of the photographic eguipments.

Hello Vilpertti,
I'm not a camera guru how ever I do take take photos form time to time with a digital camera and I won't mention it as I will get laughed out of this forum....

I had bought a Pentax spotting scope quite a few years ago and use it at the target range when doing my own kind of shooting as I'm kind of a gun entusiast.I recently moved and in doing so I had unpacked boxes in one of the rooms of the house and somebody had stole this item during the intrim.

I'm not sure if the one you mention the "pentax Spotting Scope 300/5.6 (3502176) T2" in your list is like the one I had I just know it was a 300mm. all black with a sunshade that you could reverse for compact storage w/ pentax logo on the side, it also had a ring on the unit with a knurled locking knob so you can look through it at various angles. Pentax also came out with a rubber armored unit that was more or less the same thing and shared a simular tripod, eyepieces and case.

I've been asking around at the local pawn shops and they said the only thing I could do was to file a police report. They told me to give the police the best discription of the item and they could look around for it in their storage or report to them when it shows up.

I don't know if the pawn shop will cooperate they all seem like sleazy crooks you know kinda like the fox guarding the hen house..Lol

Could you help me by assembeling your scope and posting a picture of it so I'd have an accurate discription to show the police. I have searched the web for this item and found only one picture but it didn't help as it was in its case. I really would appriciate if you could do this for me as time is of the essence....

THANKS'
Nick45
