Ouch! I think we're sold this for about £3.99 in Jessops and in date.

Hahahahaha!!!!! How about no. I just picked up a complete Yashica 635 tlr for less than half that.

I'm still downsizing. Got rid of a few random shutter cables, sold the OM20 and also my Zuiko 14-42 M43 lens.

I've been pruning out the cheapy point and shoot bits as well as some of cheaper slr cameras that I'm not going to be using. Apart from a wisp of what looks like fungus the 635 is very tidy. Family portrait below

Nice looking trio.

Bit of rangefinder action JR 264649555786 think these need film to work. Also nice 143542630773 but will go high. The description is a laugh.

Do any of you guys want a Praktica Super TL? Was at my parents last weekend and madly mentioned to dad that some people collect 35mm cameras and without realising it I ended up bringing home his whole kit bag. Body, Pentacon 50mm 1.8, Hanimar 135mm 2.8, and Miranda 28mm 2.8, along with a Miranda flash gun that fits the cold shoe adaptor and sync cable. There's even a roll of unused Jessops film in the bag that only expired in March 2006... The bag is a rather smart Miranda branded jobbie that would not look out of place today.

Lady Poppy thinks I am nuts but also said that she is never going to use her Pentax P30t with 35-80 zoom and dedicated flash so that's up for grabs too.

Will possibly have a go at eBay if I can be bothered or it's off to the charity shop unless any of you guys are interested. Ping me a PM if you are.

Wow, great offers there Trev. I'm going to decline though as I've got a mountain of gear.

Had much of the gamut of camera repairs tonight; dropped a screw inside the body, additional scratches, part fell off before I could see where it came from, put back together and found a spring I'd never seen before, and the dirt that makes your hands itchy. Anyway, didn't get too far with the Mamiya, I need to look into it a bit and it will need more serious opening up as the external bits are fine, but I fixed the meter on the OM1 so will put a film in it tomorrow. Need to figure our what ISO to set it to, in our dim kitchen this evening it looked like it should be set to 80 for a film speed of 200.

Thanks Trev but I have a few Prakticas and a couple of P30s. What was up with the OM meter Johnny?
