Vega-12B (Б) 90 mm f2,8 for $15. The one and only thing to do, I unscrewed and turned to other side last back lense.





Very nice results Max.
Good lens for sure

Not MF ... but certainly a bargain:

* Minolta Dynax 7
* Minolta AF 3.5-4.5/24-105mm
* Minolta AF 2/28mm
* Minolta 3600 HS D flash

About EUR 90.--, including a nice Minolta bag.

A few weeks ago I drove over 100 miles, defying covid restrictions, to buy this lot from nothing more than these pictures, there was no description at at all, just "Camera stuff for sale". I bought it basically unknown, I identified a few lenses and had no idea of their condition.










Was it worth it? oh yeah! Every lens was immaculate, after a quick clean, they are all cased with caps. The cameras are perfect ok, the Yashica obviously needs recovering, don't they all?
Takumar's 85-200 / 4.5. 200 / 4. 100 / 4 Macro. 55 / 2. 35 / 3.5. Tamron SP 90 / 2.5 80-210 3.8. CY Ext tubes. Olympus AF10 Compact. Yashica ML 50 / 1.7 on a FXD-Quartz. Soligor x3 TC M42
Then she threw in another huge bag of stuff that she couldn't be bothered to list....all the usual filters, cable releases and junk we accumulate, but at the bottom of the supermarket bag was a Minolta X-700 with a Rokkor 35-105 / 4.5.

Withoubt a doubt, the best £50 bargain I've ever had. Like 1 small

That Takumar macro should cover the cost of the lot.


The 135, 200 and 35 Tak's have already sold for a triple profit on the outlay, they are lenses I already had, the zoom and macro are keepers. Very Happy

fair deal for a great lens (they're not kidding about tele-macro), i paid $80 USD for mine but it came in a lot with a Tamron SP 01A 35-80 that i didnt want at the time but have ended up using more than the 300mm i bought on purpose

Well here is a lens I got for 1 USD. Plus 20 dollar shipping. Its 110mm 2.8 from a very famous maker (now defunct). Minor tweeks to exposure and contrast.


Any guesses?

A big chunk of change, but I am not unhappy...But the thing covers 6x9 inches, a shame to use only the very center of the image circle.

There's Olbrich in Görlitz:

Now run in the third generation by Olbrich's daughter, Andrea Schönfelder.

I had my Biotar 1.5/7.5cm cleaned and a early Contax S repaired / serviced by them.
Really nice people, and nice work.

A Chinon SLR with Porst 135/1.8 and Chinon Multicoated 55/1.4, both lenses in mint condition, for 75€.

I think this qualifies as a great find!

At auction for 500 SEK: MC 200 QF 3.5, RF 500 f.8, MC 300 f4.5
With commisions and postage it cost me roughly $80.
No issues with any of the lenses and so pleased that the 500 f.8 included the case, the tool, and all the lenses.

Mamiya Sekor E 50mm 2.0 at 1 Euro. I may have bought it together with a Panagor 135mm 2.8 at 10 Euro that I bought for the helicoid. As free presents from friends some compact camera's like the first Canonet model with a 45mm 1.9. Converted to NEX mount.
