Prinz Jupiter 177 £25 + £3.20 post !

Really nice box; I'm a fan of boxes, seriously, and it deserved two pictures. Only one of the unit itself though.

This is a basic feeble unit from about 1975 with just a single manual mode. Loads of them on Ebay that don't get sold at £5. It was probably the cheapest flashgun you could possibly buy around 1975. In the UK "Prinz" was an in-house brand name for budget photo stuff sold by Dixons, a former UK high street chain selling hobby tech.

Two MX bodies (with a few small non-essential bits missing) with one winder. Two flashes that do not work. Plus a fungus farm collection of lenses. All this in a converted briefcase, for about USD800. What's not to like?

A Samsung NX3000 for only USD500? Sorry but the white color is a deal breaker...

In cloud cuckoo land, a Samsung NX500 with kit lens is still worth USD1563.

When going through the Leica Australia website store doing a little late shopping I spotted this:



The Ricoh Australia website has exactly the same cleaining tool listed for $165, needless to say I bought two of the cleaning sticks from Leica.


It pleases me to see Leica promoting a Pentax product ( and offering a better price on it too) - it goes against their time honored image of brand snobbery*.


* When I was visiting the Leica factory in Solms, I noted they used this Pentax cleaning tool on their new cameras during assembly and before boxing them for sale.

One helmet has scratches on top. Makes you wonder what happened to the previous owner but I guess it has something to do with why he no longer needs it

Did you miss out on buying a KS2? No need for regrets. If a brand new KS2 floats your boat, this guy can help. For only USD1200, you (yes you) can be the owner of a brand spanking new KS2!

You will have to move quick. He only has ten of these beauties in stock.

Impressive, I have never seen a 55mm lens regarded as a wide angle outside of the 645/67 format.

GBP200 for a Pentax LX sounds like a good deal...

Ancient Ring Flash, nearly £60!

Must admit it does seem rare, probably as most or them have expired by now.
It's sure to have an absurdly high trigger voltage, and plenty of better newer types sell for under £20.
No details about Guide Number, lens fitting, or sync cable arrangements, and the photos are too lousy to be able to see for yourself.
