I think I'll give this a go ...

There's an auction site here that usually does not have many cameras for sale.
Now they show this picture, just telling there's a bunch of cameras for sale, but no info at all about condition etc .. (since they don't know anything about it).

If I see it right, there's some interesting stuff in there (3x, if you know what I mean ...).

What would a reasonable price be ? I don't know anything about the SLR's in there ..

"(3x, if you know what I mean ...)" easily pushes the value beyond US 1000 - if they work. 🙂

The Nikonos is nice, too.

Good luck.

Any idea what the little RF or P&S is at the left front ?

The RF looks like an Olympus RC.

I hope they're not asking extra for all the saw dust or dirt that looks like it's covering everything. 😉

 

[Archlich]

Looks like a 35RC.

The RF looks like an Olympus RC.

That would be nice: I don't have that one yet 🙂

Olympus RC or even better, a RD perhaps. Both great little cameras.

It's a nice camera... Shutter priority automatic and manual exposure... The only annoying thing that is if the exposure in AE goes below 1/15th of a second the camera just locks up... Good camera, good lens, but has made me miss some shots. I had mine overhauled by Essex camera which made a night and day difference in the clarity of the VF and RF. Good luck!

Good luck!

Thanks ! The auction ends tomorrow evening; I'll let you know what happened.

.. and I did ...

Just as a follow up: I bought the whole lot for 129 euro.

In there:

- Three Hexar AF silver in perfectly working condition, with working date back. I just enabled silent mode on all three. There are a few scratches and slight blemishes here and there, but this alone is really worth it.

- Olympus 35rc, perfectly working condition, looking great, very clear VF and RF, hardly any blemishes.

- Nikonos III, working and looking great. I should start looking for a lens for this one

- the "lesser" items:

--Canon AE-1 with FD 100/2.8, working perfectly and looking good. Lens without problems.
-- two Minolta SR-300s with motordrive and Minolta 1.7/50 lens. Body looking good, lenses without problems. Everything working.
-- two Olympus AF-300 Superzoom, working fine. On one of them, the small plastic cap on the release button is missing. Lenses are fine.
- Canon EOS 50e with Canon 28-80 Zoom. Working fine, but a bit scuffy (the body; lens is fine).
- Minolta SRT101 not fully checked out yet, but seems to be working fine, a bit dirty but cleanable.

I think I had a good day 🙂

I forgot:

There's a lens included that I don't understand:

it says: "Kodak Vario-Retinar S-AV2000 Zoom lens 85-210 f/3.9". It doesn't seem to have a mount at the back, but instead sort of a "tube" to move in and out of a camera (?). Both the zoomring and the focusring can be locked with a knob. You can see the "tube" sticking up at the top right of the picture in the first message.

Edit: I think I found it: it seems to be some projection lens ?

Stefan.
