The Pentax Practica LTL? That's what the ad calls it, anyway.

For what I've seen branded lens caps going for lately, he would probably get a higher price selling just the lens cap on its own.

The camera is whatever the lens cap says. I think that's international law.

Another opportunity to go back in time, no DeLorean needed. A bridge camera from a dead brand for only USD500. The seller is open to offers as well:

For a quick sale, make sure that you have good pictures in your ad.

It's getting to be like shooting fish in a barrel these days - and these are only from Pentax searches. There are times when this is funnier than the Joke Thread.

Firstly, some interesting unrecorded lenses :

Items for sale by ericson007 | eBay

Than, a lens that mutates from f2.8 to f3.5 as the image is posted :

Vivitar Series 1 70-210mm f/2.8-4 Lens For Pentax, Macro Focusing | eBay

Next, the extremely rare 36mm Spotmatic, complete with 'long lense' and most importantly, a strap - totally unobtainable elsewhere.

Pentax Asahi Spotmatic 36mm Camera + Long Lense + Strap | eBay

And finally (there are probably more, but I get dispirited at the human race's persistent ignorance) :

Pentax mz-50 Camera. 2 x Vivitar lenses and 1 x Hoya lense + Cobra Camera Case | eBay

Migrates from an MZ-50 to an MZ-20, no details or helpful images of the lenseses (!). Surely anyone wishing to sell an item has the nous to present it in the best possible light ?

I give up.

You would think so but judging from pics which often show the item filthy dirty maybe not.
I think there is also an element that people today see it as ‘not my job mate’ I seem to see a lot of people on a daily basis who think the rest of the world is there to fetch and carry for them and behave as though they are royalty. Only last week I had someone telling me it wasnt there job to unbox a product and that should be provided as part of the service. If they were buying a body scanner they would be right, as they were buying a consumer product its hard to understand.

I have never seen a digital camera with a foldout crank. Does one use it to charge the battery?


This kind of misrepresentation verges on fraud.

There re good goodwill stores and bad Goodwill stores. Goodwill of Detroit is obviously the latter.

And would this be an ultra rare Spotmatic prototype that actually had spot metering?

Samsung NX1 with 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 and 85mm f/1.4 - decent kit but at ~USD800 the price is from a parallel universe where the Samsung NX line is still sitting on the shelves. It is also fully supported by the manufacturer as far as spares and service goes.

Hang on, there are some exciting accessories in the deal: a second battery extension, a lens cover and - drum roll, wait for it - a lens sun visor attachment!

I love it when sellers make up new terms.
