new buys!

[caveman]

hi,
ive just bought myself 2 new cameras, a konica c35ef3 in black and a ricoh 500g in silver. theyre both in really good condition but i had to change the seals on the ricoh :bang: and the seals are a bit sticky on the konica.
i got them both off ebuythisstuffaintknickedornuthin.com and paid £6 for the konica and £7 for the ricoh (inc p&p) which i think is a fairly good price!
ive looked at a couple of threads on here and from what ive read the konica has a fairly good lens, am i right in making this assumption?

Nice finds. The Ricohs usually need new seals - messy but necessary. I think the G is the same as the rest of the 500 series and has uncoupled metered manual mode, which is unusual and handy.

I think you made a good buy. The Konica C35AF and AF3 I own have very good lenses. My Ricoh has very messy seals too. It is a very useable camera with shutter priority AE or full manual mode. Unfortunately it needs mercury cells for AE.
