Let's see. I got a Heiland Honeywell Pentax H3 at a thrift shop for $5.99 once. And at another thrift shop I picked up a Mamiya DTL500 for the same price I think, with the F2 55mm.
I also got a Canon AE1 there, for $10 which I intended to give to my mother, whose AE1 was on its way out with shutter problems. But although it worked fine in my hands, she managed to jam it halfway through the first roll and it was dead forever since.  She does a good job of working that brand of magic on most machines (and even people sometimes). It mystifies and confounds me. |

Definitely a bargain, that's a beautiful lens. I bet it will need relubing though, all those old zebra zeiss lenses have grease that turns to glue after a while and makes the focus very hard to turn, my Tessar of the same vintage is like that, not got round to relubing yet but I need to, takes a lot of force to focus it!

Lens value is above 500 USD avarage, Trifox sold it for 800 USD. Camera body if in working order another 300-400 USD. This is Pentacon Super made in small batch and at this time it was one of the most advanced system.

I am aware of the real value and history but thanks Attila. Sorry, my question was supposed to be a bit facetious.
The lens does need a re-lubing. I plan on doing a full service, including a UVB light treatment to decrease the yellowing, fairly soon.
Camera works beautifully. I haven't checked the meter yet though. I suspect it will be fine. Seems like the camera was stored well. |

A few weeks ago I got about 20 Cokin P-series and A-series filters, including graduated filters. They were in a box with a Celtic 135mm and Nikon HB-11 sun shade. All for $10.
I sold the P-series filters, though, not having any adapters to connect them to my camera lenses with. I still have A-series.

Don't compare a mass produces camera what wasn't used, stored properly with a pro camera. Anyway Prakticas aren't too bad at least what I bought ost of them in working order 90% at least. I think in UK, people didn't respect them due cheap eastern products , here they were well kept due most of the people couldn't afford better cameras.

I always looked after my Prakticas well but I had 5 break on me, I don't think the film advance and shutter are all that well built, or maybe they are just prone to jamming?
Zenits on the other hand, seen so many abused ones that still worked, built like tanks!

Yellowing is normal, yes. But it can be corrected to a certain extent. I have the first version "slim" zebra pancolar 1.8/50mm also built in the same era as the f1.4. This had a strong yellow cast.
The casts on these pancolars do not clear as much or as quickly as takumars but they do get better under a UV bulb.
If I ever do get rid of this one advertising it as safely (specially constructed light cabinet) UV cured may be a good selling point...
The lens has been re-lubed and cleaned! Will take some samples tomorrow!
Thanks everyone!

Noteworthy coincidence (refers to the price figures of course)... |
