Love the way he confidently states ‘no fungus’ when he is apparently unable to read lettering on a lens.
But it's what it says on the box, so it must be that. Anyway, he's from Suffolk - that explains it (folds arms over head and runs, dodging to avoid bullets !)

The guy who used to run Cambridge Camera Exchange, long known as one of the worst NY camera dealer, sold his own brand of cameras. The Cambron cameras were rebadged Zenits, they were the cheapest camera you could buy, $99 with the Helios 58/2.

Then he had his "high end" camera, the Lindenblatt KL-2. This was a Topcon K-mount camera that was never sold by Topcon, Topcon AM-1. It was released in 1983 by Cima as the Cimko LS-1, and in the US as the Lindenblatt. If you look at the Cambridge ads in old magazines you'll see that he priced them almost as much as a Pentax LX...

Apparently he still has some in stock, because he's still trying to sell them "open box" on eBay...for $399...

What is going on with the self timer lever? That could be a deal breaker but the seller pleads ignorance.

I just bought a camera off the cookie monster on ebay. I have to assume it was the cookie monster as the camera bag, camera and even inside the lens is full of biscuit crumbs. Thankfully its all cleanable outable but you really have to wonder at people.

Samsung Galaxy NX in fair condition, on sale as is for ~USD250, non-negotiable. Sigh...

And the carnage in the classifieds continue. A Spotty with some nice glass. But USD750 seems crazy optimistic. At least there is a K1000 brochure included in the deal. Sigh...
