[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]John and I are finally getting married (as opposed to civilly unified) later this month. While we prefer inexpensive ceremonies, a lunch is still a lunch. I realized that I have a pile of perfectly acceptable-really nice-equipment in my cabinet sitting there unused, waiting for another loving home. Some pictures on my LUG gallery postings were made with the stuff listed below. First acceptable offers for the four lots below gets them. Please, I do not want to split up the lots! Make an offer to me offline at jshul at comcast.net. I assume that you know what reasonable is. Shipping at my cost. All payments via paypal plus 3% (or send the money as a gift). 1. Kowa 6 120/220 Outfit. Includes Camera plus 85/f2.8 lens; 150mm f3.5 lens; 55mm f3.5 lens. Latter two lenses with Kowa front caps and cases. Lenses are the chrome type, not black bodied. The camera finder has some dirt spots (very small) and what looks like some wipe marks on the screen.) Pictures are crisp and sharp. There is also a copy of the original instruction manual. Best part of the camera: the body and all lenses were CLAd by Ken Ruth at Photography on Bald Mountain. He spent three trips making the Kowa body reliable (fixing a notorious wind/shutter cocking problem) 2. Canon V with Canon 50/1.4. Both dating from around 1956. Some bright marks and misc. spots on camera. Both camera and lens were CLAd by Ken Ruth at Photography on Bald Mountain (mainly cleaning finder, adjusting shutter speeds, and tightening a loose front section of the lens). Camera also comes with a lifetime supply of rubber lens hoods for the 50/1.4 (I had to buy a box of 'em for the $5 fee). 3. LTM Schneider Xenogon 35/f2.8. Naturally, I needed a screwmount 35 for my Canon, and wanted the famed Schneider. Naturally, as with all my vintage equipment I sent it away for a CLA (this one to Sherry Krauter), who returned it cleaned, noting a discolored aperture blade (that in no way affects performance.) No caps. 4. Bessa R2a. I bought two of these. Why, I don't know, but I have more than enough with one. No packaging, but I'll include a body cap. With strap. Works perfectly. A few minor marks on the body. Purchase with confidence: I'm on THAT AUCTION SITE (schlockmeister) with 100% positive feedback. Best, Jim Shulman Wynnewood, PA
