Toronto Camera show & Weekend Finds

[flashover]

Paid and visit to the Camera show today in North Toronto. Seamed to be a smaller crowd and there were a few empty tables. Did a couple of trips around and came up with this Electro 35 kit. Wanted mostly for the filters and metal Yashica Lens Hood.

next I came across this Olympus 35 SPn on a back corner table

Also found this little Minolta 16mm kit for whopping 5.00

Sat. paid a visit to the local Value Village and Goodwill and came home with these two Ricohs for 11.00 Bucks

I noticed someone giving it a good going over. Hung around until he set it down and moved on a bit and picked it up. Made an offer and walked away with it. I could tell you but then would have to put a contract out on you to keep the info secret.....................................................
...............................................................
...............................................................Oh, ok I paid 55 for it.

Haven't even had a chance to load some film in it, If I don't like it your first in line. Had a look at the new overlords site and it notes the SPn is harder to come by then the SP. I did notice a lack of OM stuff there. I saw only 2 lenses one zoom for 45 but it looked like it had fungus and a 50 1.8 on a broken OM10 or something for 25.

Both, and I include myself here. But I think I'm almost done. Once I get the CV50f2.5 lens, the Rollei S I jsut bought, my Contax back from cla, the CLE I'm really hoping I won the bidding for, and a CV35f1.7 lens, I'll be done. I think. We'll see.

Why can't I be like Brian Shaw?

mounted a yellow filter and the nice metal Yashica lens hood on my Professional. Boy does it look sharp now. Anyone know where to get 16mm film for the Minolta?

Very nice finds, John.
I decided to pass on the show this time round ... figured going would probably result in me trading money for more stuff.

John: The Series 1 zoom in OM mount was a dog. Don't listen to Joe. See you soon.

 

[flashover]

Don't let Joe hear you say that.

 

[Trius]

There's another thread where he's already considering selling off all his OM kit. I'm just helping him not go there.

 

[flashover]

I must of missed that one.
