Sure seems like a lot of stuff, and i am actually going to be near there tomorrow. I do not NEED that stuff, but when i see these "For Sale" things, i feel like i should (for the money) rescue it from destruction.
Any of you guys near here...want to do a group buy.?

I guess i will just have to pretend i did not see it.........

And if there was, there is a thread just perfect for this sort of thing (there was a url link here which no longer exists)

An F1 with a speed finder !

Seriously, buy the whole lot and flip the things you don't need. Even at very low prices you'd make back your initial 150$ and probably have enough for some film left over...

Offer him $100. The worst that can happen is he ignores you or says no. You can then offer him $125.

I picked up the lot for the asking price.
The seller said he bought them new when in college.
Not sure if that was true, but some things were like new in original boxes.

All the fl lenses had stiff focus. The glass on all was spotless though.
The 135 f2.5 was wobbly. Looks like it had been dropped.

The F1 was in ok. A bit of brassing. A little bleed through in the present but only by the light meter scale. Speeds working but slow speeds off.

The pellix is not so good. Bad bleeding in the prism.

Yashica had fungus in the taking lens.

But sport find er like new in original box. And motor drive like new in original box.
Pellix booster like new in original box.

Not a bad haul.
