For Trade FT or FS: Nikon, Pentax, Kodak, Olympus etc.

I have a few things that I've culled since I moved that I no longer need/want/use. I'll probably have some more items after I get some more boxes moved. Most items will fit 1-2 to a USPS medium flat rate box which is $13.45 at the moment. Some may fit in the small box which is $6.80. I can ship cheaper if I can find some good boxes. I'll accept Paypal and ship to the US. If you're trading something with me, I'll cover shipping from my end if you cover it from yours.

THINGS I'M LOOKING FOR:

• Any Ai Nikon 35 or 50mm lens except the 50mm Series E (already have it). Doesn't have to be pretty, just function properly and have clean glass.
• Minolta X-570 body in working order
• RB67 120 back - doesn't matter which version
• 120 film - Portra, FP4, HP5, chilled Astia, probably others if they interest me
• LP's in good condition - especially jazz, good classical or country guitar (Chet Atkins and Les Paul have been of particular interest to me lately). I'm open to most anything except metal and stuff that most people wouldn't have heard of.

There could be other things that I would trade for - just ask!

1: Pentax ME Super and Pentax SMC-M 50mm f/2 - Works nicely and is pretty clean. Glass is very nice with a little dust inside the lens. Focus and film advance are both smooth. Shutter blades are straight. Covering is lifting at the two corners underneath the lens mount and there is a scuff on the top cover in front of the film advance that you can't see because of the light. Bottom plate has scuffs and a sticky spot where there used to be a label. It will come with working batteries but I have no idea how old they are.


2: Nikkormat FTN and Nikon 43-86mm f/3.5 - This one is needs a cleaning but is in overall good condition. It has a couple of dings as you can see and a sticky spot on the bottom from a label. Shutter speeds sound accurate and blades are straight but the mirror is sluggish raising. I don't have the correct batteries for this one but when I put batteries in that could at least make contact, the meter functioned. The lens is in good condition - glass is clean with some cleaning marks and a little fuzz inside. Focus is smooth.



Items that I don't have time tonight to describe or upload pictures:
Kodak Retina Reflex III with 50mm f/1.9 and 135mm f/4
Olympus XA2 with A11 flash - shutter button is iffy
Quantaray 28mm f/2.8 for Minolta manual focus - doesn't even look like it has been used.
Sigma 70-210mm f/4.5 for Minolta manual focus - also doesn't look like it has been used.
Nikkormat FTN brochure

Outta time for tonight. There will be more here on Thursday.

Here's some more...

3: Kodak Retina Reflex III with 50mm f/1.9 and 135mm f/4 - The Retina is pretty clean. Shutter speeds all work fine, film wind is smooth and the viewfinder is nice. The shutter release 'button' hangs away from the body slightly but works fine. I haven't seen another one to determine if this is normal or not but it was that way when I bought it years ago. Film speed dial does not work - or at least I haven't been able to get it to move. The meter responds to light but I've never used it so I don't know if it is accurate. The 50mm lens is very clean and has some scratches around the front of the barrel where someone used a metal lens cap a long time ago. The 135 is in great condition and has a SSN engraved on the barrel.


4: Olympus XA2 with A11 flash - Needs cleaning, lens is clear, shutter button is iffy. When it works, it works fine. I have not used the flash but it is clean inside so you be the judge.


5: Quantaray 28mm f/2.8 for Minolta manual focus - doesn't even look like it has been used except for minor wear on the mount. Nuff said.

And the rest...

6: Sigma 70-210mm f/4.5 for Minolta manual focus - also doesn't look like it has been used except for the mount.


7: Nikkormat FTN brochure - decent condition



If there is anything here that you would rather buy than trade for, shoot me an offer.

Thanks

Forgot the Rollei A26. I have never used it so I don't know if it works properly or not. It is clean and slides open and closed smoothly.

Closed and moved to FS
