I just stole a Fuji GS645S from KEH...

ColColt · Dec 5, 2015

It seems I have it fixed due to some great recommendations from a few APUG members. There's a little pin at 12:00 o'clock just inside the dome. I worked in in and out about 30-50 times and it started working properly and within 1/4 stop of my Luna Pro SBC that was just CLA'd by George at Quality Light Metric so, happy camper tonight.

Well then you are buying the first round of drinks tonight.

ColColt · Dec 5, 2015

I reckon so. Harvey's Bristol Creme do?

Sirius Glass · Dec 5, 2015

I am partial to Marker's Burbon and Crown Royal but not mixed.

ColColt · Dec 5, 2015

Shaken but not stirred I take it. There's not a drop of alcohol in the house. I'm partial to tea and coffee, really.

OptiKen · Dec 5, 2015

Just thinking....just sayin'

Look how much free and positive advertising KEH has gotten this week.

Look at how much money KEH have removed from my credit card this month. And I do not even have GAS!

has it arrived yet? We all want to know what condition its in or at least I want to know.

ChristopherCoy · Dec 11, 2015

I'm subscribing to this thread, just to see what happens after 11 pages....

Arvee · Dec 11, 2015

It has to arrived already as I ordered an item a couple of days later and it arrived two days ago via USPS. OP is becoming conspicuous in his absence. I'd like to know how it went also.

Sirius Glass · Dec 11, 2015

OP is MIA?

Maybe he is in witness protection

Or maybe the KEH Boyz made him an offer he couldn't refuse.....

LMAOROTF!!!

Harry Stevens · Dec 14, 2015

I think he ended up with a $23.00 accessory that fits a Fuji GS645S.[h=2][/h]

Reminds me to my brother-in-law - he purchased a Bronica S2a original packing by auction. Still looking for the camera ...

RobC · Dec 14, 2015

could be a GS645S manual

AgX · Dec 15, 2015

Those are good ones...

But the KEH listing for the item-code shows this:
Dead Link Removed

hoffy · Dec 15, 2015

This thread reminds of a recent Facebook posting on the Australian Film Photographers group. Guy posted a picture of a 'Blad with a $5 pawn shop price tag on it. Rightfully so, most called bullshit

"Home/Purchase/Lens Accessories/Lens Shades, Hood & Accessories"

AgX · Dec 15, 2015

To be fair I was fooled too!

I put that link up just because on the item code it showed the camera name. And only that. I saw the buttons above too, but did not recognize them as a chain of links.

Yes, triggered by Brian I followed that chain and indeed it brings one to lens Hoods: items that themselves are only designated with the camera name, not "Hood - type of camera"

Good I never considered buying at KEH.

Case Closed

BrianShaw · Dec 15, 2015

I wouldn't be so quick to blame KEH, AgX (if that's what you may have meant by writing that you never considered buying at KEH). I agree with you that it could have and should have been a better labeled offering. My preference would be to identify the item exaclty as you stated. But once we see the actual page it is clear what the item really is. One just needs to real thoroughly and understand what they are reading.

AgX · Dec 15, 2015

I did not consider buying at KEH as their praised return policy did not apply to international shipments. (Aside of the hassle one experiences with german costums even at plain importing without returning items.)

As at KEH lens hoods are designated just by the camera name and that item number leads to an item listed under camera hoods, the case is plausible to me. To say at least.
