I could go and collect if you want, depends if there's anything worth having, correct mounts etc. "Sheffield" is a bit vague but it's not so far away

If you are willing then I might drop a bid on.

Looks like an interesting bundle at that price. Definitely worth a bid or two if you are after lenses.

Anything there catch your eye? Interested in the srt101 as well.

No, go for it. Hard to make out what's there but it looks like a 135, a 70-210 and a prime although with that metal aperture collar I don't recognise it. It's a 1.4 though. (maybe an earlier Rokkor?)

Just be sure of the right fittings etc. otherwise yep no problem, I'm not very familiar with Minolta or what is/isn't back-compatible, all that jazz.

Bessa 66 arrived last night, looks clean but shutter sticking and lenses need a bit more of a clean than the wiping they've been given. Nice shutter release located on the door. Top speed is labelled as 1/500! It has a hell of a stiff booster spring to get the ring to turn onto that.

Not too sure about the job lot, seems a lot of hassle for everyone. Johnny/Yoko, surprised you two haven't met up for a ride out/photo day given how close you two are to each other.
Have you thought any more on the Yashica Yoko?

Tempting though... especially if the SRT works. I might pop a bid on in an hour if no-one else bothers.
I messaged the seller. The gear is all at the father-in-laws. Couldn't give me any info on lenses or condition.

All north of the Watford gap innit!

Had a chance to look at my latest acquisition. The camera bag could do with a wash but looks fine. The Pentacon case is good and hopefully someone will want it. The small flash will charge but not fire, bin. The big one is a Hanimex TZ1, which is adjustable for wide/normal/telephoto and is a bit of a beast but quite good otherwise. The PC cord is missing alas, so I may sell it or actually keep it, if I can get another one, as it's more advanced (although much bigger) than the Cobra jobby I use for cold-shoe cameras. Not sure these things go for much though.
