You can go wrong with checking what lenses you can see (or dream to see) on crap bodies.
I purchased an Exakta Varex IIb from Ebay Germany with a Pancolar 50mm 1.8 for € 22 + shipping. When the camera arrived (perfect working) there was no Pancolar at all. But a Bm 80mm 2.8 in very good state. Not too bad either, but an odd surprise. |
Interesting lens to get as a surprise. At least if you buy an old Zenit you know you're gonna get a Helios-44! Or maybe an Industar-50... _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

[Nice!
I have most all that stuff,and quite a bit more too (bellows lens hoods, paramenders, pistol grips, both sorts of prism finders, WLF etc etc..)
If anyone would like to buy it for very little more (plus shipping) just send me a PM requesting a detailed list!
I have far too much medium format gear, and have decided to keep the RB 67 and Bronica stuff and cull the 645 series..
There are adapters to fit these Mamiya lenses on both 4/3 and m4/3rd cameras and their optics are outstanding as you are using the sweetest bit of their sweet spot and they were none to shabby on 645!

I don't understand, how had it earned 15 bucks?
I just bought one of those lenses for 10ukp, hope mine doesn't have that spring issue, is it an easy fix? _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

Not all countries, most have something very similar but they call it another thing and it is usually more limited feature-wise, I can give you the example of Sweden or Portugal, you can certainly find similarities but they are not quite like eBay. They are usually too small communities and the offering is also low. _________________ Body: Fujifilm X-E1

I have no idea why that particular transaction earned that e*buck amount -- there are a lot of things about e*bay that I don't understand! As far as the spring issue, I don't know how fixable it is. For now, the lens works fine wide open.
Edit: Here's an image taken with it last week:

Not sure if other countries have the same, but i'm signed up to a cashback website in the UK and for any purchases I make on ebay I get 40.4% cashback on the ebay fees. So for example, I buy something at £100 and ebay gets £10 in fees from that sale, I would automatically get credited with £4.04! Soon adds up! |

I think that's independent from eBay, though, isn't it? My daughter bought a laptop computer last year where there was some type of deal being offerered between Dell and Microsoft, where if the computer was bought from this eBay seller, she got a BIG rebate. I don't recall the specifics anymore but I can ask her when she gets home later. _________________ Michael
