Got some stuff up for grabs, just snatched up a 19-35 and a Schneider 180 for my 4x5 so I gotta make some room. I will probably add to this as I get through my equipment and figure out what I use and don't use.
Canon Rebel Ti, this is a 35mm AF EOS mount. It comes with the rare factory Canon BP-220 vertical battery grip which takes readily-available AA batteries. Everything works, put a few rolls through it and I loved it. Super lightweight and has a metal lens mount, it has many of the features of the upper-echelon EOS cameras in a plastic body. I believe these were made up until just a few years ago, they are one of the last consumer-grade 35mm SLRs. Had a lot of fun with this one but I just never use it anymore. Comes with a Canon body cap
I'd like 40 dollars plus shipping.
Nikon N60 35mm, don't know too much about this one it was given to me to repair and it just needed batteries and I was told to keep it. Everything works well, viewfinder is a little dirty could use a cleaning. Takes Nikon AF lenses, I do not believe G lenses are supported it is only a single-wheel camera.

AI-converted Nikkor 300mm f4.5 pre-AI lens
This is the earlier 5 element design with the silver-barrel. It has some fungus in the rear element but image quality is not affected. There also appears to somehow be a very very small chip in the front element on the very edge where it touches the barrel. Image quality is not affected. Takes 72mm filters, aperture is nice and snappy. It also appears to be factory AI-converted. The original lens hood is still there and it retracts and extends as normal. It works well for what it is, I used it for shooting birds and things of the like but turns out I like landscape better.
I could do 60 dollars plus shipping on this lens.
Tamron 100-300 f5-6.3 AF for Canon EOS
Alright, I'm not gonna lie on this one, it's about as soft as a roll of Charmin triple-ply. Compared to my 70-200L IS or even my $25 dust-pump Canon 70-210 F4, it is atrocious past 200mm. CA isn't too bad but my goodness it could probably function as a soft-focus bazooka lens if you're shooting portraits from the International Space Station. It's a little better at F8 and F11. One neat thing about it though, it does have a 9-blade aperture, so that's kinda cool I guess. It was my first foray into AF rocket-launchers and I moved to the newer 70-300 Tamron LD which is a little better but my 70-200 f4L IS still stomps it like a red-headed left-handed freckle-faced stepchild.
It does come with the factory hood and I think I even have the original Tamron lens caps for it. (55mm)
Make an offer I won't refuse, which isn't much
Meyer-Gorlitz 13.5cm in a Compur-Deckel Shutter
I *believe* this may at the very best be a 4x5 lens. 5x7 F/22 images reveal a strong vignette in the corners and it doesn't get too sharp until you get towards the center so it may actually be a 6x9cm lens. The lens cells are absolutely flawless (and removable!) and it has that 1940's Zeiss Tessar bokeh. The shutter itself isn't too bad but it will need some love. There's a screw missing on the aperture plate. The blades have some oil on them and every once in a while the shutter will stick except at 1/200. The speeds are spot-on accurate though, I checked them using a waveform and a microphone and they are almost dead-nuts right on. It has the mounting plate for it. I found another Compur-Deckel with Bausch&Lomb 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" 135mm Zeiss Tessar cells and cross-pollinated them and it made some pretty cool effects.
I'm not sure what it's worth, but offer me 60 dollars + shipping and I might let it go.
Canon 20-35 f3.5-4.5 USM
This one here is a hell of a screw-up. The lens cap came off in my car on a road-trip and the front element managed to rub up against something for 150 miles with some hellacious tire vibration. I'm sure you can do the math.
On FF and 35mm it DOES affect image quality from 20mm to about 28mm. There's a soft spot in the top left and the contrast is significantly diminished. I don't know what to do with this lens but it made some of the absolute best images I EVER shot before this happened, and I'm not even kidding. It was my go-to for almost everything I shot and I owe probably 90% of my portfolio to this lens. If you're careful on your framing you can frame the blemish out of the picture, I've done it successfully several times.
It comes with the Canon 77mm lens cap, the factory EW hood and a rear lens cap. Otherwise it's in good shape and everything else works. If you are on an APS-C camera it usually will not show up. Wide-open it's not too bad but past 6.3 and to f11 it is razor sharp. I've got 16x20 prints I've made with this lens.
I paid 245 for it, but since I'm a dunce I will let this go for 40 dollars + shipping
Should have some pics up tomorrow. I DO ship internationally to ALL countries just let me know your customs procedures prior to shipping and we'll make it happen.
These items are located in the United States, in Florida. I take Paypal, check and USPS Money Order. I will do Western Union for international buyers if necessary but the payment has to clear first before I move anything.
If ALL items are sold, I will make another 1-year donation to APUG for whatever the amount is that covers their taxes and legal BS. I think it's like 37 bucks or something.
