Ok, I was recently gifted this camera. It is very well made and comes with the 50/2.8 lens mounted (35/4, 90/4 & 130/4 lenses are also available for it.) and a decent if not perfect never-ready case. More information on this camera is available here: http://www.cameraquest.com/agfambi.htm It gives a good image but it really does not do well with my hands - the advance lever really su*ks hard... 😱 as it is very difficult to grab it with the thumb of your right hand.

That said, I'm going to offer this one ala Roland. That is, the high bidder gives the money to RFF rather than to me. I'll still need cost of postage, but all else goes to help keep this place running. No "reserve" or anything like that. As long as you pay the postage, if a bid of $ 0.01 were to win you'd get it. I do hope, for Jorge's sake, that the final bid would be just a wee bit higher... :bang:

Any interest? Let's put an end time as 6:00 PM Sunday October 15, 2006.

Thank you everyone,

William
 
Reasonable question Pherdinand - according to ebay it's somewhere between $40 & $199... :bang: lots of help, I know. I'd say $60 - $70 USD would be a realistic market value.

Pherdinand said:
well, William...its advance lever should still be better than the advance lever of a contax! or a super ikonta! 😛

Really, what's the "market value" of such a camera? just asking...

Ah, but have you used the rewind knob on a Silette? Its not built for this keyboard warrior's hands 😱
 
I'd best clarify - this is just the body, 50/2.8 & ever-ready case. I don't own any of the other lenses for it.

Looks like Wes is the lucky bidder. I'll PM you for shipping information. Thank you to everyone for your support of RFF.
