Give you £21 for it!

While I find your offer difficult to refuse, alas for you, I can do six impossible things before breakfast

[Kenzie]

Well I never. After all I do...

The XE-1 arrived today, and what I hoped wouldn't happen happened. With a fresh set of batteries the camera seems to be fully functional. The wind lever sticks slightly at the end of the stroke (easy fix) but the only real issue is the prism. Its got a line through it slightly worse than the one Yoko sent me. I also have a new addition to the herd. Canon IX APS slr (bought body only) I just happened to have the 50mm EF lens and a 25 exposure roll of aps film kicking around.







I also got the top right cover on my XE-1 swapped over from the "faulty" one. Looking good now

I've seen the K2 on ebay I think. No idea what the story is with the winding, could just be something needs adjusting. No pictures of the back door, presumably it's a bit bent. Seller sounds pretty honest though. The ISO ring is around the lens mount, they are said to jam really solid, so it's good that isn't stuck. Mine is fine, a little stiff but nothing really. Fingers crossed!

That's the one I have been looking at, someone has put a bid on it already.

Worth a cheeky last-minute punt if it only stays at one bid, people often bid only a little above the current price.

Maybe, not sure what the issue with the wind on could be.

Little bit of cleaning under the top plate of this Kodak Retinette, viewfinder was hard to use so I pulled it apart.

People are mad I tell thee. Browsing ebay I came across a few listings that are crazy. Two roll of expired film for £45 plus post. The three screws to hold on the base of an OM10 for £5 plus post. Three screws!!!
