Jeez, where do I start? Last week I bought 4 cameras from local thrift stores:

Polaroid 104 with original case and 2 Model 268 flash units - $5.

Pentax ZX-7 with 28-80 lens, manual, and case - $15. My wife likes it.

Sony Mavica MVC-FD88 - $6.50. I know it's digital, but it records on 3.5 floppys which was just too funky for me to pass up. It came with a battery but no charger, so I ordered one from eBay.

And my big score: Canon FT with Canon 55mm f1.2, Vivitar 24mm wide angle, and a Vivitar 90-230 telephoto zoom (which I'll likely never use.) $33 for the whole set.

I have 2:

Newest Old Camera: Polaroid CU-5.

Slightly Older Newest Old Camera: Yashica Mat-124

I used to use a Yashica Mat-124 in a portrait studio that I worked in during the early 80s. We had it in our Budget Package room - everything pre-measured, pre-lit, screwed to the floor, etc. I was the young apprentice, so I used it daily. The boss shot the more expensive clients with his Hasselblad. Honestly, I did almost as well with the Yashica. Good camera.
 
True, but, at less than $100, plus it is an old classic, that has a lens worth more than that, heck, if i could i'd bid for one more!

Ugh! I took my own:devil: advice, and placed a bid, only to get SNIPED! :mad::bandit:
 
^Need to use something like EZSniper.com. That's how I got my latest F for as cheap as I did.

I never really read up about those, I always felt insecure trusting 3rd parties doing business! I'll reconsider the next one, and, I fear, that next one, is very near! xD :crazy:

It works pretty well. Only thing they store is your eBay username and password, at least for the first three snipes. After the trial period it's $10 a month for unlimited snipes.

Anyway, added an FT3. Getting rid of one of the FT2's.

An Ex/EX+ (KEHese) MD-4 picked up for $6.01 USD on that site, by an individual who either failed to establish a "reserve price," wasn't familiar with the idea, or who hoped to attract interest by not doing so. With an MK-1 attached, the drive will be paired with an F3P, expected to arrive sometime near the end of next week.
 
You should fit right in here then:D! I found an Olympus Trip for 6 Great British pounds a few weeks back....what a blag:tongue:

I know this is the 35mm sub forum, but....

Today I bought a Bronica S2a, with 75 and 50mm Nikkors, Extension Bellows, L Hand Grip, reversing ring and 2 backs - all with original packing (including the little plastic bags from inside the boxes!).

Quite happy with my purchase!

Very nice set! You're gonna have a lot of fun with it.

BTW: this forum isn't solely about 35 mm. All MF is frequently present and welcome, even LF. As long as it is analogue?

I think the reference was to the fact that this thread is in the 35mm Camera sub-forum.

I'm using an iPad with the Tapatalk app. This app doesn't show the name of the sub-forum the thread is in. Only the title of the thread itself.

Thanks to BradleyK, I just received an almost EX grade F5 for a C-note. Has a couple minor paint wear marks, a slightly chewed up MS-30 battery clip, and a small dimple in the rubberized covering below the self-timer LED. Actually wound up selling him my EX+ grade F3P with drive, and some other items for it and $520. Would've been $620, if I hadn't received the F5 (and a standard F3 back for my current BGN grade F3P) in trade.

FT3 arrives on Monday. Last item I need source is a donor camera with an unmodified casting for my FM2n, so I can get rid of the previous owner's copyright notch next to the shutter curtain area.

Just bought a Zeiss Ikon Ikonta 35 - the predecessor to both the Contina folder and the Contessa folder. Not tried a film yet - only had it a couple of hours - but all seems to be well with it.
 
Another Trip!:D
 
Goodwill been good to me
Canon EF(FD mount) w/24f2.8, 135f3.5, 300f5.6.
Leica lllC w/50f2.8 Elmar
 
Just picked up a Pax 35 (original model, from what I can tell) and an New F1. Fhew, they're both 2x as heavy as they look!
