Wow, where do you find all those treasures 
Are there any flea markets in Italy in big cities? What are they called in Italian? |
The ones I just bought were advertised on gumtree 'Pick up only' from Scotland. Fortunately a colleague was passing that area and picked them up for me.

For me the bargains in the sense of lenses that deliver more bang for the buck than others, are the Contax G and the Canon FD lenses for the EVIL cameras, Asahi Super-Takumar 50/1.4, various Pentax 50/1.7, K 135/2.5, k 50/1.2 and the Kern Macro-Switars for c-mount which new sold for 4x what they can be had for now and are superb optically. |

I found some good deals at San donato market, next to Milan, on Sundays, but not all Sundays.
We call them generically "mercatini" (little markets), but I always have some difficulties in gathering info about them. |
I've got to send a friend of mine from Bergamo then.

Unbelievably, these were all from various UK dealers and shops but with the exception of the Sonnar 180, from several years ago now.
Ebay prices at the time were heading to nearly double what I paid in some cases and God knows what they'll be at now. |

It's a nice place. Not always easy to find a seller knowing what he's selling, but recently many have discovered eBay for checking prices, so the chances of getting good items for little are really variable.
Last time I went for lenses I ended up buying a pink '60's fridge by Bosch. It costed 10 euro but I had to go and get it in Turin, in a house full of Russian people. Now I'm using it as a cupboard to store hard drives.

Well I'd call it a bargain, if it's in good condition. It's a very good price.

My best bargain was a Tamron SP 52B 90mm 2.5 Macro Adaptall 2 in pristine condition. The lens was bundled with a Tamron Adaptall 2 to M42 adapter and a Tamron SP 01F Flat-Field 2X Tele-Converter, also in beautiful shape. All three items together cost me just a bit less than US$10. The lens and Tele-Converter came with the original cases, and each came in its own original box with the orange motif. The adapter also came in its original Tamron box.
My next best bargain was a Konica Hexanon 40mm f/1.8 lens in decent shape for US$5. The lens came with a camera.
Both these purchases were found at the same thrift store. |

All I can say is wow....and wow again...
This Oly 24 is so much better than the Nikon 24/2.8 I had used for 40 years or so...at least on the Canon Dslr it'll be used on...
I took only a couple of shots to test for flaring, where the Nikkor was terrible....
The Oly's IQ is just wonderful...no flare, no loss of contrast...just what you see through the VF...
It's lenses like this that MAKES you want to go and see the world through them...can't wait....looking forward to posting pix soon...
(I got it with caps and case and hood, all pristine like the lens...for $50)
Just took a test shot with the Oly 24 on the 30D...
I like taking shots of bookends to test for print set off with nice clean edges and no CA...where whites aren't blown....
The Oly is supposed to have low contrast so maybe that's why this shot looks as it does...
hand held shot @ ISO 1000, 1/60 sec (EC -1) @ F4
In DPP
auto WB
Neutral Picture Style
all sliders @ null
RAW image sharpened to 3 in DPP
the 100% crops got no further sharpening...the full frame shot got some USM as it was resized...
...just a bit of highlight lightening on the crops because the lighting was uneven...
I should test for vignetting and will upload real photos in the alternate lens photo thread soon..

Although it is not a Manual Focus lens (and may be not related to this topic) but a mint Minolta 80-200/2.8 HS APO G with original front and rear caps, hood and carrying case for about 380USD is my latest purchase. this is about 900USD less than its normal price.
