Another job lot - Zenit EM that works very well for once, a very clean working Helios 44M, a Galaxy 200/4.5 T-mount lens with hood, case, and caps, a Hoya x2 converter, and a flash. Cost £27 including delivery but will hopefully make a healthy profit.

~~Silver~~ Black HD DA15/4 Mint (well the cap has run marks) to replace the SMC version I sold earlier. With the addition of the SMC DA*16-50/2.8 and sale of the 20-40 I guess I’m keeping KP.

I now have the complete set of ~~silver~~ HD DA Limiteds.

And your old SMC 21 is appreciated in its new home!

I had two medium format lens with dented filter threads, one I dropped myself (Pentax-A 645 45-85mm) and the other a Pentax 67 75mm f 2.8 which I purchased at a bargain price because of dented threads. This thread straightener has let me fix the 45-85, and I am working up the courage to try it on the 67 75mm,.

That looks pretty handy. Where did you get it?

I’m glad you like it. DA21 has certainly been my favorite among the DA Limiteds, which is saying a lot considering the DA70.

Domke F-5XC bag in tan

Like the popular F-5XB but with an additional zippered compartment on bottom, perfect for a long lens.

$31.55 shipped from Amazon Warehouse.
Most of their items are customer returns.

I bought a very lightly used (as new) Fujifilm X-T20 to upgrade from my X-M1, mainly because lately I've been wishing for a viewfinder (the X-M1 only has a screen). So far I have to say it's an extremely nice little camera and the lenses I've tried on it so far all focus much faster than they do on the X-M1, and that's without updating the lens firmware.

My best customer return from Amazon was a credenza for my desk that listed for about C$245. 4 shelves plus two drawers and the top of the credenza holds my JBL 26 speakers nicely. C$86 shipped. The cardboard back cover was scratched. It faces the wall at the back of my desk.

I traded two FF Tamron adaptall 2 prime lenses and a little bit of cash for a barely used K-5 from twilmelm. Thing looks brand new and had a shutter count of 6,399.
