What have you just SOLD?

SOLD: Leica R8 camera with motor drive and a Telyt-R 280mm f4 lens. I'm holding on to my Rollei SL66E camera for medium format film. A quirky camera, off now for a CLA.
 
I sold my Nikon N80 and Minolta XD11.

Not sure how I feel about selling the XD11 though, it was a black paint model which was very nice. I still have my chrome XD11, but I know there is demand for the black one and I didn't need two of them.
 
Sold my Yashicamat, gave my MTO 11CA to a family member into astro, sent 4 lenses I'd stopped using to ffordes who said two were crap (not worth CLA cost) and two were passable but just not worth much. At least they are gone.

I felt strange when I sold mine (serviced by Real Cameras). I got sellers remorse very quickly but eventually I started using an old X300 which - although not at the same calibre- I actually started enjoying more (no shutter lag, brighter screen, smaller, lighter etc..). Strange world...
 
Working on consolidating gear a bit...

Recently sold:

Panasonic FZ1000 II
Sigma SD1M with 18-50mm
Fuji X100F
Ricoh GRIII w GW-4

A little less recently:
Leica I
Summicron collapsible LTM
 
Hmm let’s see….

Hasselblad 500C/M kit with two lenses, Leica IIIa, Bronica S2 monster kit, both of my National Graflexes, Nikon F Photomic FTn with two lenses and original box, Leicaflex w/50 Summicron, Heidoscop 6x13 stereo, Rollei 35, Philippe Tiranty Verographe 6x13 stereo/panoramic, Lumiere Sterelux, Voigtlander Stereflektoskop 6x13, Revere 33 kit with case and viewer, Ernemann Miniatur Klapp kit, Ernemann Film U, Rolleiflex Old Standard, Zeiss Super Ikonta B kit, a couple of Ernemann Autex self timers, an antique French stereo viewer, a sizable assortment of Hasselblad accessories and um…and I think that’s it.

Left to sell is my Contessa-Nettel Deckrullo Tropical kit, my Duplex Super 120 stereo camera, perhaps my Leica IIIa Spécialités Tiranty with a Summar, Ernemann Miniatur Ernoflex kit, maybe my Jeanneret Monobloc 6x13 stereo/panoramic camera kit, RB Graflex Series B, VP Exakta version 2.1, Goerz Vest Pocket Tenax kit, a couple of other Hasselblad accessories and maybe a 9x12 falling plate box camera.
 
Some consolidation: the last of my 35mm kit, a Nikon FM with 28 and 50. A Bronica ETRSi-III meter prism (a bulky unused nuisance), and a Hasselblad PM-45 prism. They went off to KEH, who didn't lowball me on the quote, for a change; the sale funded a mint HC-4 prism for the Hassie, and a nice chunk of change went into the bank.
 
I sold all of my Canon gear and am very happy about it. Do not miss the weight or size. I shoot corporate events and having to take Advil before and after a shoot will not be missed. I do have a couple of lens hoods and 550EX flash that I missed that was in another bag. These too shall pass amongst the departed.

I do love my Fuji gear!
 
Sold off my Rolleiflex 3.5F and have been moving all of the accessories.

Also sold a Voigtlander 35mm lens to fund a 50.

I didn't particularly love to sell the Rollei, but there will always be another one out there.

Yes, but they will be at increasingly insane prices, regardless of the model. I've sold off Leicas, and sold off Hasselblads, but the Rolleis will go with me to the grave, and beyond! I hope the leather doesn't get charred...

:cool:

I feel this way about my Minolta Autocords, in particular, and also about my Mamiya C330f.

I have a Rolleiflex T that I like (I think I like Tessars and Tessar-types). I long wished for a Rollei 3.5F, but when I finally got one, I just didn't bond with it. So, I sold it to someone who really did appreciate it for the fine camera that it was.

From what I’ve seen the prices haven’t gone too crazy for the models I’ve been looking at. Servicing them, on the other hand…
 
Sold today:
Fuji GF30mm lens.
Ricoh GR III plus viewfinder and Nisi filter kit.
Calibrite monitor profiler.
Voigtlander VM Ultron 35mm lens.
 
Goerz Vest Pocket Tenax monster kit, the Duplex Super 120 and my RB Graflex Series B sold this past week. I have three items in the classifieds here and a few things on eBay. I haven’t had too many tinges of regret but there have been moments. My goal is to get down to just my Hasselblads and my digital Nikons that I use for work, plus maybe the Tiranty Leica. That would actually be perfect.
 
sold 28/2.8 CY Zeiss (my other one), but reluctantly, it worked ok on A7 & A7r2 but not like Q2.
also Sold Q2 mono to buy Q2 for the color option months ago, glad did that, it's so easy to convert b&w now.
