Great stuff Ray. This is my 3rd year. I love finding filters, lens caps, and other like items for a quarter each. Lots of enlargers & other dark room gear. $5 for a hard case. Some fixed lens rf's, SLR's and a folder or two.

I just bought some dark room gear, nothing that interesting. The only really interesting thing I found was a large box of all kinds of film most of it now discontinued. I payed less then 25 cents a roll for some old Ilford, Agfa, and Kodak film.
They had a Minolta 7S and some Canon QL's, etc. all were fixed lens. I did find some great older books about individual photographers like Bob Natkin, Latin Am. photogs., Lange, Abbot, Arbus, Kertész, Wegman all for $3 each.
