What have you just BOUGHT?

I bought an as-is parts body Canon 7 for peanuts. I was able to bring it back to life. Everything seems to work now even the meter. I've had one before but my esoteric inclinations lead me elsewhere.
This is a beautiful and well engineered camera. It does not get nearly the praise it should.

Nice! Almost the same experience for me, but with a Canon P. I let it go because I was much happier with my IID2.
Ended up pulling the trigger on one with morning.
 
Hmm. How do you look up someone on Blurb.com? I see no "search" button.

Ah, never mind. The search button was hidden off screen... LOL!
Many thanks! :D

I'm glad you solved that because it's so long since I used Blurb that I wouldn't have had a clue!
 
Nice, been after one for a while myself but just can't get the timing of price and budget right and won't pay ebay's silly prices.
This one is in poor cosmetic condition, the hood is missing and so is the rubber around the focusing ring. I don't see any fungus though and aperture blades are clean and snappy. I might take the front elements apart and clean some of the dust off.

For £5, - no fungus, no scratched lenses, snappy blades - it can even be painted in pink with purple dots.

It's all about the glass and surprised it's good, looking at the state of the body but I have rough body lenses that still work great and one could easily put a rubber on it from a scrap lens and some work with a sharp blade.
 
The Nikkor 105/2.5 is one of the special lenses in the Nikon line. Many photographers, including myself, made it on of their most used standard lenses for Nikon F, FM, F2, etc. :D

Did it. Used a rubber ring from an old Miranda zoom. The lens hood is there actually. Only issue is the amount of dust behind the front element. I will have to open it and clean it.

I Opened it and now is all clean and ready to shoot.
