Ok so I just want to say that I am in no rush here and I'm still trying to decide if what I'm doing is even a good idea. Probably not but that's ok! Ever since I acquired my F I find that it's what accompanies me when I want to shoot with a manual 35mm SLR. Those that know me know that I have a problem with having too much gear, I hate redundancy and I only have backups of my "digital" gear. Anyways, I find myself with a decision to make, and I think this is the direction I should go in.
With that said, here's what I've got:
An extremely clean FM2n body (titanium shutter) in beautiful black with hardly a mark on it. I recently resealed it and it works just absolutely beautifully. Perfect exposures every time and the meter works great. Also includes a not as clean but perfectly functioning MD-12 motor drive. (Thinking $200 here)
An AI 50mm f/1.4 in wonderful cosmetic shape and no issues with caps and the hood. (Thinking about $120)
and an AI-S 35mm f/2 in very nice cosmetic condition and clean glass, however it has a slight wobble, I couldn't figure out what it was, but the film results from the lens show that there is no problem at all functionality-wise. (Thinking $120)
Naturally if I'm going to do this I would like to just sell it all in one swoop, I'm thinking that about $400 for the kit would be about right, but let me know your thoughts!
Again I'm definitely not in a hurry to unload these things, but I was just thinking about it because I honestly question how much these things are going to get used based on my schedule.
Let me know your thoughts, I'll have pictures available soon.
