The Pentax 6X7 lenses are surprisingly good value on Ebay.
I thought that they would be more expensive.

Thanks guys. It's my best deal ever.
@rawhead: Is the late 67 105 2.4 much better than Takumar 105 2.4? I'm going to buy 55mm, 105mm and 165mm, but I'm not sure which one to get. |

it's smc so better against flare.
105/2.4 is a MUST HAVE. The other ones are OK to have, but I go to other cameras for medium tele and wide angle. But that 105/2.4 is just so, so special.
Here are some samples:
http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=88929764@N00&q=67II
Except for one wideangle shot (45mm) and one that is tagget 67II but really is my Speed Graphic, all the other shots you see there are 105/2.4 on my 67II. I only keep around the 300mm F4 for my 67II

Don't know if it's much of a bargain but I got Kiron 80-200/4.5 Macro, Kiron 28/2, Kiron MC7 2x TC (all in MD mount) and Minolta MD 50/1.7 all for $20. Complete with the original manuals and a Minolta film body that I gave away. The glass is pristine except Kiron tele has 3 spots on the inside of front element that look like dried oil drops (a tiny dot in center of a bigger faint circular area about 1.5mm in diameter). From what I see, it has no effect on IQ. |

It's been a while since I've checked in here, but I've continued to shop for deals and found a few.
A couple of months ago, I found this little gem in a 2nd-hand store:
That's a Zeiss Ikonta with 75mm Tessar and Synchro Compur shutter. The price? How about $3.57? It's in fantastic condition and is probably the best deal I've ever found on a camera -- apart from having one given to me, of course. Incidentally, this is the same camera that Wilhelm used in the photo shoot he posted here:
http://forum.mflenses.com/zeiss-ikonta-524-16-studio-portraits-on-kodak-portra-160nc-t35388,highlight,%2Bzeiss+%2Bikonta.html
I haven't put any film through it yet because the slow speeds are sticky and I haven't had it serviced yet.
About a week ago, I bought a Canon New F-1 off eBay for a price I haven't seen in a long time -- $150. The camera is in beautiful shape. Just has a bit of brassing on the corners. The lens didn't come with the camera; I just added it for compositional reasons.
I've been a big fan of the original Canon F-1 for almost 30 years, but have never had a chance to use a New F-1 until just recently. My initial impressions of it are simple: it's built like a tank. I didn't think that a camera could be much stouter than the original F-1, but it looks like Canon succeeded with the New model. I'll swear, if I needed to I could drive nails with it. I've run only one roll of film through it so far, but haven't had it developed yet. The meter is dead on and, given the nature of the shutter, so is it. It came with an AE screen (average metering, split image with micro-prism circle focusing aid). I found a PC screen at KEH and bought it. The PC screen is plain matte, partial area metering. As near as I can determine, the P screens function identically to the way the old F-1 meters a scene, a system which I prefer over most others I've come across. The search is on now for a reasonably priced motor drive or winder for this camera.

Today at a flea market I bought an almost mint Fujica st801 with case and ebc Fujinon 1.8/55 for € 30.
Everything is perfect, except light seals that I've already replaced, and considering this is by far my fav m42 camera (I already own one), I'm extremely happy.

Mint Chinon 28-50 MC in PK. Not a mark on it, original caps, case strap and box. Not even any mounting marks on the bayonet... it looks unused. Price? Under £10.
No idea on the quality, and I'm not really into zooms, but I couldn't leave it there in this kind of condition.
Any info on it, or example shots?

Vivitar series 1 70-210/3.5 Macro by Kino-Kiron...found at Goodwill...in excellent 'nik'...
Excellent color, contrast and freedom from flare...
It has a very long focusing throw that makes focusing more difficult than with shorter throw focusing lenses such as Nikkors...
Focusing would be easier wide open on Nikon bodies (that makes use of auto-aperture) than focusing stopped down on Canons with an adapter...but obviously it can be done...but you've got to have good eyes

Click here to see on Ebay
Mostly I was looking for a clean Vivitar Series 1 28-90mm in Canon FD mount. Unfortunately, most of the ones I found had BINs that were more than what this auction closed at. Turns out I was the only bidder. Fifty bucks and I get a minty black AE-1P as a rear lens cap. Always wanted a black AE-1P . . .

Hi
Few weeks ago while visiting my parents I bought EBC Fujinon 55mm 1.8 at Northampton car boot sale for 3 Pounds.
It had really stiff focusing, so I disassemble it, clean, lubricate and put it back together as it is really nice lens.
It's very sharp wide open and delivers nice colours and pleasant bokeh.
And here we go with few quick snapshots taken with it (all straight from EOS 600d):
f/1.8
f/1.8 or 2.8 (don't remember )
f/8
f/1.8 (focus on the second daisy - not the one in the center but the one on the right)
f/1.8
100% Crop of the above at wide open

Just what I need: Another 135 lens!
Pentacon MC Electric 2.8/135 from the house clearance man on the market. The optics and blades are clean, the focus is smooth, the aperture ring clicks on all stops, but there is a ding on the built-in hood and no caps or case. £5 only. I'll try it out tomorrow.
