Groundhog Day Give-Away!

[Retro-Grouch]

Okay, February 2, Groundhog Day, is fast approaching, a day for us to honor and respect the oversize rodents who wreak havoc upon our gardens. So, since the Christmas Give-Away was so much fun, why not a give-away at other times of the year? To start the ball rolling, I have, free to a good home, a Pentacon/Praktisix/Kiev 6 to Mamiya 645 adapter that will let you put that FSU glass to more use. It's sexy black and brand new, in a funky box. manual aperture use only, but hey, we're real photographers and we don't do nothin' automatic!
Please, someone take this! I meant to get an adapter for a Pentax 645, and clicked on the wrong one. Now this thing is urging me to get a Mamiya 645 to use it with, and I DO NOT need another medium format system. You all know how this goes!
PM me if you're interested. I pay postage, US only.

Helios 44-2 (58mm f/2 M42) free to anyone who wants it. Black. Glass is perfect, focus is smooth. Just bought a CZJ 58/2 Biotar for 10x the money, so trying to clear space. Photos from this are as one would expect from this formula, crisp, great colors, bokeh things. . As cheap as these are, it’s just too much trouble to take and process photos and list it somewhere, so it’s free to anyone inside continental U.S. There is some wobble, but it’s never posed a problem with a mirrorless body. Fun lens.
PM me and I will be more likely to see it. Happy GHD.

P.S. The definition of “free” hasn’t changed. If I made you pay for shipping it wouldn’t be free. This lens is free. Send me your address and I’ll ship you a lens.

EDIT: Okay this has now found a new home.


Really? Nobody wants a free Helios 44-2? Everybody has one? Nobody wants one, bokeh too scary? Nobody likes Groundhog Day? Went out this PM to take some demo shots. Do I have to actually pay people to take this? They're quite cool, even if suffering from the stigma of low price. In this case a price of zero. All these were taken wide open, by f/4 it sharpens up even more. Last call.
