Re: Vintage film cameras
Same here, but seem to end up with loads of them. Got a Helios flash coming with another bundle. Got a bid in on a Bessamatic, it's a mis-spelt listing so fingers crossed.
It was a good bundle, the light meter alone averages about what I paid for the lot. Got a Minolta flash in there as well, but the Adaptall box was empty apart from an end cap.

Re: Vintage film cameras
I think I've got the same Minolta flash. I've tried to offload some on ebay but without much success.
I'm trying to restrain the urge to branch out into rangefinders. |

Re: Vintage film cameras
Just checked my eBay, I have 31 active watched items. So much for easing off! I still haven't shot with my Voigtlander VF135.

Re: Vintage film cameras
I wouldn't mind an auto flash that's really small, I have a Cobra 210 with dodgy battery box cover, I've already replaced the PC cord once - it's the one I use on cold shoe cameras. Yoko if it's indoors it's easy with an auto flash, fill flash outdoors is a different matter!

Re: Vintage film cameras
How are you getting on with your days off and shooting Yoko? Has the weather held or is it pants? Just got hit with a £150 bill to replace a seized rear caliper on my Civic. So much better now though. Will need new pads at some point as they got a bit cooked.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Weather was lousy yesterday so didn't do much.
Today, I felt adventurous and started to dismantle an 80-210 zoom. I got the front 2 elements out and cleaned up some oily haze. There's a little fungus on some of the glass a bit further down but I wasn't brave enough to go that far. Hope to get out tomorrow, but I need to adjust the chain first. It's a bit loose. |

Re: Vintage film cameras
Last time I took a lens apart I killed it.

Re: Vintage film cameras
I'm getting better - doing less damage each time.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Popped a bid on an Agfa Record III on Fleabay, it's starting at a quid. There's another with lesser shutter and lens but ending earlier alas, but also starting at a quid, so am keeping an eye on that too.
