An "imperfect" K 24mm/2.8 for £99.
Awww pffft, what's a few cosmetic dents, minor cleaning marks, an inaugural fungus farm, and stiff focusing? It's rare, I tell you, it's rare. Bid with confidence and abandon!

Well, at least the seller is upfront.

FWIW, 110 film is still available. That makes Pentax 110 kit highly sought after, I guess.

Yep, the guy is honest about the condition at least, and if he put it up for auction with a 99p start price he'd no doubt get the £15-£20 that the lens might actually be worth in that condition. The fungus and sticky focus wouldn't put me off because they're fixable, although some butchery to that mangled filter ring would probably be necessary to get the lens apart to mend it. I'd still pay up to £20 though, even with the scratched rear element, to have it as a beater lens for shooting in conditions where I don't want to risk a more valuable one.

Maybe I'll send him an offer.

I just wish someone would produce 126 film. Real 126 film with one registration hole per frame and paper backing.

And in related madness, this motley crew is up for grabs for just over two hundred dollars. The description is cryptic:

That Vivitar Series 1 might be something interesting, but the rest - meh.

This is for the GR Digital III, a camera with no viewfinder, and no external viewfinder is included in the listing either

View Finder
It has a very tiny dust.(No impact when taking a photo)
There is no fungus or haze.
Clear.

It's actually a pretty nice kit, you'll just need to provide your own sim card.

(I'm sorry, it just made me chuckle. But I wonder how someone ends up with a nice kit like this tell sell but doesn't know much about it!)
