I went to an estate sale of photographer friend that was being run by his niece. She had got tired of trying to sell his film equipment in this digital age and just wanted to get it out of her house. She is a manager of one of our camera stores so she knows what stuff is worth in other markets. She wasn't interested in the online auction. Anyways she held out and got really good prices for his Leicas and Hasselblads but the 35mm stuff was cheap. I got a Nikon F2 black body with a Nikon DP-1 Finder and a Nikkor S F1.8/50mm for $55, a Nikon F2A chrome body with a Nikon DP-11 Finder for $50 and for free a Nikon F2 chrome body with a Nikon DE-1 Finder (has a slight bind in the advance mechanism but moves the film the proper length), a Nikon FM body with a non-functioning meter and a functioning Nikon F801 body. Also bought a couple of really cool art deco styled folding cameras for the collection. I also bought a Linhoff Schneider-Krueznach Angulon f6.8 90mm lens with a Prontor-S shutter for my 4X5 for $5. So I've been busy shooting film and getting to know the F2's. These are the one's I will probably use the most.
Co-worker found out through my wife (also a co-worker) that I like old cameras. He brought in a camera bag with an old minolta srt102 with rokkor 70-210 and a newer maxxum slr with 35-70 and a whole slew of cokin filters for these cameras. Gave it all to me with agreement I take him to lunch.
Last week picked up a canon A1 w/ 50/1.8ssc from local thrift store. Changed seals, shoots great!
Three weeks ago picked up a fujica ax-3 with 50/2. Changed light seals (messed it up, light leaks, time to redo). Light meter appears to be about 2 stops off. Funny, the ax-3 appears to be an A1 clone. Very similar bodies/functions.
Been a busy few weeks.
Good to see that you made it over to APUG Jon. Welcome!

Zeiss Ikon Nettar 518/16 from the local charity shop. I've run a roll of Portra through it... no light leaks and everything working fine. I'm very pleased!

Thank you
How old does it have to be to be "new-old" if bought used, can it have been made last year?
Heck, I'd say yeah sure why not, but, I think analog would assume the vintage years, and the old new, being, just that! Hey, are you not from that other place too? Don't you recall me, mr. Rebel aka a.rodriguezpix falesly accused of hooliganism xD
Not sure what you mean about the hooliganism, I don't remember you I guess haha.
Well then, my new-"old" camera I got barely used...
