What have you just BOUGHT?

Mongo Park said:
Just back from a car boot sale - got an Olympus Trip 35 and an Olympus mju II (Stylus Epic) Zoom 80 both in immaculate condition for the princely sum and a total of £9.50. The mju II by itself cost £1.50. Both now loaded with film and a new battery for the mju. Worth sticking with film.

Wow! Surrey sounds an expensive place to live. I guess you won't have a Poundland for Agfa Vista film...

Regards, David ;-)
 
Hi David - ahead of the game I think. Picked up some Vista plus from Sutton about a month ago (two packs of 10 24 exposures). That's what the Olympus Trip is loaded with now. Old stash of Neopan 400 out of the freezer for the mju. Its really sunny out here today so have taken quite a few shots.
 
A Canon EF-S 55-250mm STM. I am planning on using this at 400mm-e on a Rebel SL1 (my backup Canon body) as a lightweight birdwatching kit with the same magnification as my 8x binoculars. Just before that, a Panasonic ZS50 for the same purpose, but image quality and AF speed are disappointing and it's probably going back.

Hi,

You got two nice cameras there. I just hope you don't get into as much trouble as I do when I put another bag of film in the fridge.

I guess you're my age if you think Sutton's in Surrey. Like Redhill and Reigate it's always seen as South London these days. Out here in the sticks we are a bit old fashioned; I still have in a Borough Council locally and a County Council running things. Not gone the way of Croydon Borough Council yet...

Regards, David
 
An early Super Takumar 35mm/f2 (the one with the 67mm filter size) with original cap and hood. From back in the days when dinosaurs walked the earth and a fast lens wanted a big front element:







I'm not sure that it's practical (the thing's the size of a coffee cup!) but I do think it's cool.

Two items from a friend who is now buying storage units...
Schneider-Kreuznach APO-Symmar 210mm 5.6 lens in Toyo-View mount
Schneider-Kreuznach Super-Angulon 90mm 8.0 lens in Toyo-View mount
The 210 lens is like new
The 90mm lens has a couple of coating nicks in the rear element (due to no lens cap) but I don't think that will be a factor...
I have these focal lengths but in Caltar-II N and my 90mm is the 4.5 version...
Paid $100 for both and he threw in a 10x12 Lowel Gel holder...
Both lenses were dirty so it was hard to tell how they would clean up but they came out very nice...
Never found the camera but he does have a very nice yellow Nikon hard case...
Now to sell the Toyo mounts and recoup some of my investment...

What exactly is a point & shoot camera? Glad you asked!The Kodak of 1888 may have been the first, and even Leica got into the act!
