Yesterday I bought a Canon IIb rangefinder with Serenar 50mm f1.9 collapsible lens.
Lens is in very good condition except for a ding to the filter ring. Not too sure yet about the camera operation but cosmetically very nice.
£1 from a charity shop! |

 I'm watching one on ebay for a little more. Actually a lot more, well, quite a lot more.

Amazing! I paid $250 at auction for my Canon IIIa w/50/1.8 Serenar and thought that was a good deal. Actually it was, the lens alone frequently sells for that much. But not quite the phenomenal good deal such as yours.
One thing to look out for in the old Canon rangefinders is pinhole light leaks in the shutters. They were rubberized when new but now they're all dried out and cracked. They seem to time out fine still, but don't be surprised if your IIb has some light leaks. What works very well to repair this condition is a product called PlastiDip here in the States. It is a synthetic rubber compound which is designed for dipping tool handles into to provide them with insulated grips. It is available in cans for dipping or in aerosol sprays, and is available in different colors. I decided on the aerosol and had to shop around a bit before I found it in black.
To apply, I sprayed some onto a paper plate, then used a small, moderately stiff, artist's paint brush and dabbed it onto the curtains, small amounts at a time. I dabbed it onto the first curtain with the shutter uncocked, let it dry completely, then charged the shutter and dabbed it onto the second curtain, then let it dry completely before releasing the shutter. I repeated this entire process several times. Then loaded the camera up with a test roll and took it out and shot it. As it so happened, with my camera, I had to repeat this process a second time. When I got the film back from processing, the number of pinholes had dropped from about a dozen down to a couple. So I repeated the process, exposed a second roll of film and this time, success.
Good thing about PlastiDip is it is synthetic and never hardens. Because it is synthetic it should last much longer than rubber and should remain pliable. But you want to be careful not to use too much because you're increasing the mass of the shutter when you're adding material to it, and if you add too much, you'll affect the shutter's timing. I found that by lightly dabbing it onto the shutter, I could see it actually soaking into the cloth, and what I did was make sure not to add so much that the cloth was no longer soaking it up.

A few days ago I spotted a lovely 1950s aluminium CZJ Tessar preset, 50mm f2.8.
It was being listed as broken, and sold for parts. Glass and focus were fine, so I suddenly guessed that the owner did not understand how preset lenses work, and assumed the aperture mechanism was faulty.
I put in a low bid and got the lens for less that £10!
Sure enough, it works perfectly fine

Thanks for the heads up about pinhole repair!

Found a guy on the local craigslist who was selling an original Canon F-1 with a 55/1.2 SSC for $225 that looked to be in decent shape. . So I drove out to take a look. That was the biggest issue, the drive. About 130 miles round trip. I told myself, by the time I got out there that the distance I had to drive would be a bargaining factor. The lens has light wear, the body a bit more. I told him I was disappointed, that I thought the set would have been cleaner based on his description. I pointed out a couple of minor problems. And then there was the drive. Said I didn't want to insult him with a low ball offer. But he said to go ahead. So I offered him $150. He hemmed and hawed some, but eventually gave in.
..
The camera will clean up nice and make a good spare for the one I already own. The lens will go into my collection. I'll pull the chrome nose 55/1.2 out of my collection and sell it on eBay and likely get more for it than I paid for this outfit. So that means that not only will I get an old F-1 and a 55/1.2 for free, but I will most likely make a profit off this deal. I just love it when I can pull off deals like this.
Image taken with my Samsung Galaxy 4 smartphone. I haven't a clue why it's displaying upside down. Part of the upload process here is to specify an orientation for the photo, so I tried again and specified 180 degrees. Didn't make any difference, though. Funny thing is, if you click on the photo, it displays it right side up. Strange.

My best to date is a Tamron SP90mm f/2.5 Macro (Model 52BB) for £1 last year - It needed some cleaning but works fine and the adapter fitted to it will sell quite a bit for more than I paid for the lens once I find out which it is, & I'll still have the lens to use.
This year I've not been buying much but couldn't resist a Carl Ziess Jena 135mm f/4 Sonnar in very good condition, with both caps & a case for £5.
I've got a few other bargains but none that compare to these. |

Todays deal.
I saw a local advert for a Zenith SLR for £30 already which had been advertised for a week. Normally I would have ignored this but what interested me was that it said unused. Could be interesting I thought. So I arranged to meet. Indeed, it was brand new in box with a Helios 44m. And yes it was mint. She then said she had another Zenith SLR, this one with a 44-2, again mint and then another. 3 in total. She told me her Husband had it left over from when they used to own a camera shop.
She then said she'd tried to sell her Husbands Mamiya gear last year for £300 but nobody was interested. Consisting of,
M645 & M645 1000s bodies.
Sekor C 45, 80 and 110 f2.8 lenses and 150 f4 lens all with Hoya filters, cases, caps and hoods.
Plus a detahchable grip.
Everything mint.
As she hadn't been able to sell it she said she'd take £200!
Then, a
Yashica 124G. Brand new in box with case.
Canon FT QL with two 50/1.8 FL lenses.
A very early Edixa with a Kilfitt Makro 40mm f3.5
A bnib Helios 135 2.8
Plus filters and a few other bits I can't remember at the moment.
And 3 enlargers. Not usually bothered with them but had 2 El-Nikkors and a Componar.
She's moving and was very happy to get rid of the lot for £350!
Moral of the story. Always follow up a lead no matter how many times you're disappointed.

Instead of buying one AF full frame E-mount lens, I got a bunch of good to excellent MF Canon, Minolta, Nikon, Olympus, Sigma lenses that cover 8mm to 500mm.
However, they're a bargain relatively because I'm getting tired of turning and turning and the focus rings ... |

Bronica Zenzanon 3.5/105 MC
Advertised for parts or repair as it had chip in the front element - buy it now - very low price.
Received no attention from watchers.
It is a wonderful lens - the chip has no influence on images that I take.
The rest of the lens is excellent.

I bought a couple of Minoltas. An XG1 with 50 f2 for £10 in great condition but no battery so I couldn't test it. The shop have a 30 day no quibble returns policy and a six month warranty. So nothing to lose. I put in a pair of batteries and bingo it fired up. Nice!
The other 'bargain' is a Minolta Dynax 5 with 28-100 AF lens. Minoltas last film camera its well equipped but has a fault. I'm doing a separate post about it. £15 not too bad. If I cant get it working I will take it back.

One bargain became expensive that drained some green from my lowly bank account.
Initially, I bought a $10 hand grip to make a camera gun. The grip came with a mechanical cable. To know how to work the cable,, I bought a film camera with lens,,, a longer lens to make the camera look more cool,,,, and then a hippy shoulder strap. Now,,,,, I'm looking for a longer cable. I'll probably look for a camera case after the longer cable to keep the dust off the camera. The flash is borrowed from a Nikon film camera purchased during my incurable compulsive shopping habit.

Haha it can get like that!
I bought a Minolta AF camera with some really nice lenses a couple of years ago. I ordered an adapter from ebay costing more than the bag full of Minolta gear. I'd sold most of it on before the adapter arrived. Rattling around in the drawer for ages I've now sent it to another member. The day I got this minolta with the 28-100 lens!

Boris, that is a very impressive Minolta collection you've, erm, collected.
I've been hanging out at ShopGoodwill.com lately. There really are some good deals that go through that site. But today I decided to spend some money.
I bought an assortment that included a Canon AE-1, a couple of cheapo lenses, and a few flashes, for $23. I bought the outfit because one of the flashes is a Nikon SB24, a perfect companion for my Nikon F4S. I hope it works. The rest of the stuff, I'll blow out for cheap on eBay. I'll probably make money off the deal and get the SB24 for free.
Next I bought a Pentax K2 outfit -- a K2 camera with a Tamron 28-105 AF lens. I like the old K2 -- sort of the equivalent to the Nikkormat ES or the Canon EF. I'll sell the Tamron. I don't have any AF Pentax gear. I paid $35 for the outfit. The lens sells on eBay for between $50 and $75, so once again, I'll get the camera for free and I'll have made a small profit from the transaction.
And one of my all-time favorites -- a very clean Canon F-1 with Winder F and 50/1.4 SSC, plus a Spiratone 500mm preset. I value the outfit at $365. I paid $166 for it. I'll keep the F-1 and the winder, and since I don't need three old F-1s, I'll sell one of my others, the one with the most wear (which isn't much), which I should be able to get $150 for, easy. I'll sell the 50/1.4 SSC (I already have two, I don't need another) and I'll sell the Spiratone. I figure I can get a total of about $275 for the three items. So $109 profit on the deal, and I get to keep the winder and a very clean looking F-1. Hopefully everything works -- touch wood.
Finally, there was a very clean Nikon FE (black) with MD-12 motor drive and a pre-AI 24mm f/2.8 Nikkor, plus a huge Sunpak 622 strobe. It cost me $100 even. I'm keeping the FE -- it will replace the one that was heavily damaged when I had a catastrophic collapse of shelves of my photo gear a couple weeks ago -- and I'm selling everything else. I figure I can get about $200 for the rest of the stuff. Again, assuming everything works.
So, here's the math: 60 - 23, 60 - 35, 275 - 166, 200 - 100. Or $595 - 324 = $271 profit, and I get to keep a bunch of cool gear! For free! How's that for bargains?
Being able to make money off this stuff is the only way I can justify buying it, you know.

feeling a bit guilty about this one but a local ad popped for a Minolta kit. a one picture type ad with very little info, the two lenses I could barely make out was a cheap zoom and a 20mm 2.8 AF, so I negotiated with the guy and he agreed to let me have it for about $140, which just for the 20mm is a really good price.
I had no idea what was install for me:) the other lenses where another zoom with broken aperture, a 100mm macro and the best out of the bunch a 35mm 1.4...... I had so much adrenaline running through me when I Saw it I could barely keep my cool!!
I don't own a Sony cam as I was only buying it for resale value but I'm seriously considering picking one up as I don't think I'll come across these lenses soon again;)
another lucky find was a dallmeyer 50mm triple C mount lens that was included with an ARCO 8mm camera I bought for $25. I didn't even realise it was there as the picture was bad and all I wanted from the kit was the ARCO 38mm 1.4 lens that I want to convert to MFT. I has a D mount adapter stuck firmly in place, but I'll get it off eventually!
