I was in picking up my slides and Stan came by to talk so I asked him about splitting up the P and the lens. If theres a way to say 'no' that he missed ... I don't know it.

Sounds that way. One of those days ya shoulda just stayed in bed (or off the FS forum at least).back alley said:
No problem. Stan said someone else had asked earlier in the day about selling the camera and lens separately.back alley said:
He claims he'd have a tough time selling the body alone.

Depends on how much he wants and if I had any cash that day... :bang: I'd happily get both if I could but even the body would probably be too rich for me.

Someone earlier in this thread was interested in just the body and suggested a joint effort.

That's 300 for the lens and 200 for the body, right? :angel:
300 cdn is about 260 usd these days and that's just a bit rich for my blood right now.
Somebody help joe out here. 😀

Well.. I stopped into see Stan as well.
While I was there I ran into Jan Normandale from RFF 🙂
Anyway, I looked at the 50mm again - ya, Stan wouldn't budge because he knows it's a niche market and while someone may want the lens (because it's L39) it would likely be difficult to get rid of the body. He's aware of the interest the P is drawing but obviously no one's bitten yet and his price is still at 499 plus GST/PST.
Note about the lens: there's a filter rim ding - a wee one but it's there and noticeable - the blades looked clean to me; I didn't unscrew the lens from the body though.

some here should buy it complete with the lens and split it up with the 300/200 CAD ratio, plus the taxes, (shipping cost added too) and offer it on our classifieds.

Might be a plan..
do you think the lens is worth $200 CAD?
The P Body may be worth $300 CAD.. I'm unsure about the lens though that's the only thing.

the body is certainly worth 300 CAD if you can live with a non fuctioning self timer, which most of us can.
the camera is in nice operating condition IMHO, and would not need a $160.00 CLA, shutter speed looked good even the 1/1000 sec via my quick flourescent tube test, no hang up at the 1 sec. either.
as far as the lens, if you got to have the 50mm/2.8, 200 CAD is cheap, its not a common Lens like the F1.8 even with its little tiny thread dent, which might not effect screw in filter/hood placement.

i would take it for 200 cdn. as is.
according to the canon museum, there are 3 versions, one has 34mm filter size and the other 2 are 40mm filter size.
did anyone notice which size this one has?

it looked like the " two tone" with the 40mm thread, glass looked clean, but I did not have my penlight and lupe, to really check the glass, as I was in the store to buy some Rodinal originally, but was sidetracked by the Canon P and its lens in the display case and the rude foolishness that took place a little later.

well if it stays there long enough maybe i'll buy both!

Let either of us know Joe (Peter or myself or any other Toronto member)
I'm downtown every weekday and DC is about a 10 min walk from work during lunch.
That plus I know the guys there will "put it aside" if I ask them to.
Cheers

Good luck to all the new owners, both parties will get a decent deal.

Oh.. and speaking of Downtown Camera - Stan made a note to point out that he's put something "special" on Ebay ... when I got home to look I noted this:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7580143655
I've seen it in person and man, it's one weird looking thing but maybe you guys here might know what it is.
