What have you just BOUGHT?

While at a garage sale last month I picked up a 90s camera bag. I asked the lady " do you have any gear to go with it" she replied "I do but its in the crawl space , you'll have to come back at a another time' so a month went by and I was able dig everything out. four suitcases of prints, slides and cameras. I only wanted two cameras Mamiya 645 Pro and a Fuji GSW 690 III Pro. She told me "I'm separating you have to buy it all" I made my offer she declined to low. She said "it's a camera in there that's worth good money" so I kept digging in bags and suitcases. There it was a Hasselblad X Pan II with two lenses hardly used along with other accessories. My heart racing I gave her another offer she gave me her final price it was a done deal. I ended walking away with six cameras, unused film stock, tripods and a truck full of other items.

Canon QL rangefinder.

In beautiful condition. All shutter speeds sound right. Viewfinder is bright. Will get battery to check if meter works but have been using iPhone app anyways. Feels solid and heavier than it looks as it is a small camera.

Great camera. I’ve been shoring mine this week. I had it cla’d by Mark Hamma 10 years ago and just changed the light seals again last week. Takes great pics.
