I live in Denmark, but prices are stated in GBP as I'm used to dealing with that currency. All prices are without shipping.
Shipping costs depend on where in the world you are. I will only ship with tracking unless you mark payment "as a gift".
Front and rear caps are included with all lenses everything except the 200mm f3.5 and the 50mm f1.7, which don't have rear caps.
I take paypal only.
I will combine shipping.
First the lenses:
1x minolta Rokkor 35mm f1.8 MD W lens 49mm threads. I've re-lubed this lens so now focus is buttery smooth, there is the usual amount of dust present, a very tiny amount of haze inside of it and some fungus etching in the coating at the rear element (the fungus was cleaned out). There is also some coating marks on the front glass. Now All of this sounds very very bad and you would think that this lens would be ready for the dump, but on the contrary it's super sharp and pictures taken with it shows good contrast. So if the minor deficiencies it has affects it's performance it must have been the best lens in the world, when new
. This lens in it's current state is every bit as good as my nikkor 35mm f2 ais (maybe even a tad better but one should never trust people trying to sell something a hundred percent
Cosmetics are fine and the aperture is smooth, clean and dry. These usually go for around 150-180 pounds in good clean condition. I'm asking 75 pounds plus shipping.
1x Rokkor 35-70 f3.5 MD macro lens 55mm threads. This lens is simply superb. Focus is very smooth aperture is clean and snappy. The glass is in very nice condition. There is a bit residue from lens cleaning fluid on the front element, but I would just leave it as is since it has no effect on performance. This zoom lens is every bit as good as a prime lens. Simply a wonderful performer. I'm asking 50 pounds plus shipping.
1x Rokkor-PF MC 58mm f1.4 lens. A legendary lens. This copy is in great condition. Glass is almost spotless with only to three marks in the coating on the rear element, that have no effect on performance. I re-lubed the lens, so it's now smooth yet firm. Cosmetics are great. the aperture is dry and snappy. There is a little bit of balsam separation in the rear group that doesn't have any effect on performance either. I'm asking 35 pounds plus shipping for this wonderful lens.
1x Minolta 50mm f1.4 MD lens 49mm filter threads. . A great lens. The negative stuff first. There's a ring of coating marks at the rim on the rear of the lens, it will have a slight effect only at f1.4 but not from f2 onwards (since that part of the lens isn't used from f2 and slower). Focus is smooth but quite firm. Aperture is dry and snappy. Cosmetics are great.
Asking 30 pounds plus shipping.
1x Rokkor 50mm f1.7 MC lens. A great lens. Glass is great. There is a little bit of residue from lens cleaning fluid at the rear glass. It can be cleaned off, but I would just leave it as is since it has no effect on performance. Focus is smooth. The aperture is dry and snappy. Asking 25 pounds plus shipping for this lens.
1x Rokkor 55mm f1.7 MC lens. A superb lens. I re-lubed the lens, so focusing is smooth. The aperture is dry and snappy. The glass is great with only a tiny mark in the coating on the rear glass. This has no effect on performance. this is a great great lens. Asking 25 pounds plus shipping.
1x Rokkor 35mm f2.8 MC lens. I re-lubed the lens, and also cleaned the aperture blades. So focus is now super smooth, and the aperture is dry and snappy. This is a fun little lens. It's not very sharp at f2.8 but from f5.6 and onwards it's great. I could see that someone before me had tried to open the lens up, and had made a few hairline scratches to the coating of on the elements. this shouldn't have any impact other than lowering contrast a tiny bit. otherwise the glass is in nice condition. Original lens hood included. I'm asking 20 pounds plus shipping.
1x Minolta MD 28mm f3.5. 49mm filter threads. A very sharp lens. Glass is very clean. When I got it it had two problems. There was oil on the blades and the inner aperture pin was kind of stuck. Anyway I cleaned the aperture blades and freed the inner aperture pin as best as I could. However it still freezes up a little when it hasn't been used for some time so when on a camera it's a good idea to activate the dof preview button a few times, to unfreeze the inner aperture pin. After that it works fine. The aperture blades themselves are dry and snappy. Focus is smooth. Glass is in fine condition. Because of the inner aperture pin issue, I'm selling this for 10 pounds plus shipping.
2x Tele Rokkor 135mm f3.5 MD. Both of them in great condition. One of them has a little more dust than the other. Both are very sharp. The one with least dust is missing the small red plastic dimple to help aligning the lens when mounting on the camera. Glass on both is great the one with least dust has a very tiny mark in the coating on the front element which has no effect on performance. Asking 20 pounds plus shipping for each one.
1x Tele Rokkor 200mm f3.5 MC lens. Glass is fine but focus is very stiff. It can still be used, but it's slooow. Aperture is fine. Because of the focus stiffness I'm asking 15 pounds plus shipping.
And then the Cameras:
1x Minolta XD-7 Chrome. It works great. I've cleaned the little air piston so there's no shutter lag. It won't win any beauty contests. It has a ding to the top right side and a small ding to the bottom plate. However it works perfectly!! Back foam is fine, I haven't changed the mirror bumper, since I haven't seen any need to. There's only a few specks in the viewfinder.
A great camera. I'm asking 40 pounds plus shipping for this.
1x Black minolta Srt-101. Good news: Everything works. The meter is accurate. Comes supplied with a working mercury battery. It has a dent on the top left side. The shutter speeds all work, but slow speeds are too slow. The viewfinder is usable but dusty (there's also a tiny insect stuck on the focus screen!). There is some braising. Mirror foam and back foam will need to be changed. Asking 30 pounds plus shipping for this.
sold together: 2x minolta srt101 chrome bodies. for parts. One is great the meter is working accurately, shutter speeds are accurate, viewfinder is clean. But it doesn't focus correctly to infinity. Cosmetics are great. The other one has a ding on the prism, the self timer doesn't work, the meter is dead. The shutter speeds all work, but slow speeds are too slow.
asking 10 pounds plus shipping for both of them.
1x minolta srt303 with mirror lock up. Everything works. Viewfinder has some marks on the top left corner, which should be cleanable. All shutter speeds work, but slow speeds are too slow. The meter is working accurately. It's missing the plastic tip of the winding lever. Asking 15 pounds plus shipping for this
1x Minolta X-300 chrome. This camera is almost like new. Everything works great. The viewfinder is clean and bright. Light seals and mirror bumper are fine. A very underrated camera. Asking 20 pounds plus shipping for this.
1x Minolta x-570 black. A bit of braising and some marks on the mirror. The viewfinder has some marks on it. Everything works though. The bumper and the light seals will need to be replaced. There is a bit of braising in one corner. I'm asking 15 pounds plus shipping for this.
Last but not least. I'm selling a Minotla auto flash 320X for the Minolta XD series. It works great. I'm asking 15 pounds plus shipping for this
And also a minolta no 1 close up ring. It works great. I'm asking 5 pounds plus shipping for this, or will send it for free to the first person who buys a lens, if he/she wants it.
