Today's score

I'm new enough here that I'm not sure where the best place for this is, but I have to brag on my score a little bit. Yesterday I called on a Craigslist ad and today I picked up this set from the original owner, all receipts, original packaging and manuals provided along with the maintenance records for the cameras. Included was:


Pentax ME Super
Electronic winder
Flash
Flash Bracket and associated cords
Pentax SMC-M 50mm F2
Tokina 35-105mm F3.5
Pentax M42 to K mount adapter


Pentax SV with hotshoe meter
Pentax Super Takumar 55mm F1.8
Kamera 35mm 2.8
Formula 5 40-85mm F3.5
Vivitar 90-230mm F4.5
Tokina tele converter
Vivitar tele converter


30+ filters, three camera bags. Some of the lenses and most of the filters have never been taken out of their original packaging. I'm sure I'm forgetting something but for me, Christmas came early. I'm excited to get home and play around with these on my digital stuff. Most of the stuff isn't worth much to anyone more than likely but I was happy to pay the $80 he was asking.

Good deal. Enjoy.

Just out of curiosity what condition is the camera in? If you say excellent to like new I'd be green with envy too.

The SV was well used. Theres pretty substantial wear on the finish under the viewfinder meter and it obviously spent a fair bit of time in the owners hands. He claimed to have stopped shooting months after buying the ME Super and I have no reason to doubt. That one looks brand new and I have a hard time believing that it's had more than five rolls through it. He had the cameras serviced recently and provided me with new batteries. They both appear to be functioning as they should.

I am brand new to Pentax film, I cut my teeth putting thousands of rolls through an AE-Program. Should be an adventure and a fun experiment teaching my six year old daughter about photography and patience.

Nice haul! I really hope that your daughter picks it up and enjoys it.
