Just stating what my results have been.

Another simple small camera bag:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/US-Military-Utility-BAG-SOFT-SHELL-Camera-BAG-Coyote-Brown/173610786408 Description states 10.25 x 7.5 x 7.5" I like the single movable divider and lack of pouches and pockets. Chris | |

The annual swap meet at Notre-Dame-d'Oé (northern Tours suburb) was last Sunday, so I trucked up there (2+ hours round trip) to pick up a few goodies. The selection was not great and a bit limited as compared to previous years. Anyway, here we go ... First purchase for 40€ (a bit expensive for me) a very nice KX with a M 35-70/2.8-3.5. I really want it for the lens and it has a bit of a damaged filter rim ... it was from a man's collection covering a table that his daughter and her husband were selling. A lot of Pentax, but I had most already. We chatted it up and I helped them figure out how to mount a Canon (old) FD lens back on a AE-1 body. Next an aus Jena Pancolar MC 50/1.8 for 12€ ... stiff focus and the blades would not close down beyond f/5.6, but I have already serviced it and it's very good now. The light meter is KO on the body and it came with a good 1.35 volt battery which is always appreciated. For 5€ a nice Pentax hood for a 50mm f/1.2, 1.4 etc. with a NIB lens cap ... really bought the cap for the box for the odds & ends part of my collection. And for 20€ a very nice lens for my Mamiya M645 ... a Sekor C 210/4 with a Mamiya UV filter. And the last purchase, but not the least purchase ... from below that table of my KX acquisition. It was in a box on the floor and I inquired. They said that it was broken (with the aperture block failure) ... the battery was barely alive, so I put a M50/1.7 on it and then went into the menu to allow for it to work. Just fine in "M" mode and they said I could have it for 30€ ... so bingo. I checked the shutter count at home and it's only just above1,200. I may resell this one at my cost to a friend ... we'll see. Last edited by Jean Poitiers; 11-27-2018 at 01:36 AM. | |

Latest lot from Goodwill...I probably paid way too much... A grungy MX with a huge dent in the prism right at the hotshoe...At least the meter works, the M 50/1.7 was very nice, & the little aperture window actually shows the aperture...   Canon T70 with a couple FDn lenses (50/1.8 & 35-70 3.5-4.5) plus a flash. Boy those FDn lenses feel cheap...  A couple K-mount lenses including a Komine Vivitar 28/2.8. My collection of Vivitar 28 is growing...  A Nikon Coolpix L610. It might make a nice 16 MP pocket cam...(25-350 equivalent lens)  There was an old Kodak Brownie Starmite too. Tomorrow FedEx will finally deliver my lot from Goodwill of Southern Arizona (8 days for shipping, 15 days since I paid for it). | |

| Originally posted by timw4mail So how many Canon 50/1.8s do you have now? Those seem to be easier to get than to get rid of.  My FD lens collection is really growing...FD 28/2.8, FD 50/1.8, FDn 50/1.8, FD 50/1.4, FD 100/2.8, FDn 35-70, Vivitar 28/2.8, Vivitar 100-200/4 (w/matched 2x TC)... And the number of FD 50s is nothing compared to my K-mount 50s...4 M 50/1.7, 2 A 50/1.7, 2 M 50/2, 2 A 50/2, 1 each K/M/A 50/1.4, FA 50/1.7, 1 each XR/XR S/XR P 50/2, Sears MC 50/1.7 & Promaster 50/1.9...Almost forgot the Sigma 50/2.8 macro...

  Pentax FA 80-320 in pristine condition. Glass obviously has had a filter in place since day 1. | |
