A couple of weeks ago, I bought a Canonon AF35M2/Autoboy2/Sure Shot 2 for a couple of dollars, and have been enjoying this little early autofocus camera quite a bit. Just about an hour ago, I was at a local garage sale, when something caught my eye amid a pile of miscellaneous junk on a table:
Rokinon auxiliary wide-angle and telephoto lenses for the Sure Shot 2, in an unopened box. I didn't even know that there was such an animal. So I bought them, along with the Fuji "Big Viewfinder" camera next to it, for 50 cents total. Who knows, the cheap little Fuji might be an OK "leave in the car or at work" camera. Or a paperweight. But the aux lenses will get some use, I believe. If they are anywhere near the quality of Rokinon lenses, it might be a good find.
I know that it's not the $50 Leica that I am still hoping to find, but it's still kind of cool.

Oops. Rikenon, Rokinon. Rokinon lenses don't have quite the same reputation as Rikenon. Middle of the road glass, from what I gather. They do make my AF35M2 look tough, though.
