Some of you may be familiar with Aki-Asahi camera covers. One thing that you get for free when you order from them is a "practice kit" along with the kit you actually ordered. Well, I have two of these practice kits, obviously unused; one is for a Yashica FX-3 and the other is for a Yashica FX-D. I will send either or both your way, just for the cost of postage, to anywhere in the US.

What's the catch? They're both hot pink snake skin.

This didn't sell in the (there was a url link here which no longer exists) and I can't be bothered to list it on ebay.

Let's try this: subscribers only - you send me one roll of fresh film* to cover postage, I send you the XA. I don't think this is worth sending outside of the EU.

* 35mm or 120 Portra, Ektar or Reala please.

I had to check to be sure, but no, I got it from here: (there was a url link here which no longer exists)

Haha! I was just curios, since I'm fairly sure I gave it away with some Yashika 35mm as a free package, so I wouldn't have cared I was just curious, haha, thanks for checking.

Contaflex in partially disassembled state, includes spool, all parts. I tried pulling it apart and just lost interest in a scale focus SLR so don't want to take the time to fix it. Very nice shape, case is clean too. No issues with lens, shutter sticking was reason for disassembly. I made it to pulling the rear element and gave up.

Just pay shipping (please PM me).

Kodamatic Pleaser II,

In perfect brand new shape still in box...

I thought about trying to modify it for Fuji pack film but decided it's just too much work. I think I payed like $10-15 at goodwill so just pay shipping and its yours, good display piece.

Original box and instruction booklet as well

Olympus Mju II





I had two bites in the classifieds but both fell through. The camera is well used, the rear window is missing and covered with black tape, the midway focus confirm point on the shutter button isn't working. Bar that, all is good.

I'd like a roll of film* to help cover postage costs please.

Ektar, Portra, Reala.

I think you're getting mixed up here.

The Summicron was the first Leitz lens to use LANTHANUM crown glass. Normal crown glass has been in regular use in optics since the 1730s; without it, there would have been no achromats until the 1950s.
"Summicron" is a progression of the Summar/Summitar/Summarit naming convention for double-Gauss normals. If you can get -cron out of "lanthanum", I salute you.

f/2 is the middle speed of Leica's lineup, between 2.8/2.5 and 1.4/1.0/0.95. All 'Crons are f/2, and all 'Crons are also mid-speed.

Most M-mount lenses don't have -M in their names. That's a recent convention. A Summicron 50 f/2 and a SUMMICRON-M 50 f/2 are not the same lens, either optically or mechanically.

Pretty sure that the "icron" suffix was used after the canonical summ prefix to denote how (now famously) sharp the lens was. Sum-MICRON, as in resolving detail down to the micron level.
