I am in the process of selling off my film bodies, which have been
just gathering dust for quite some years now. When I was in London in
August, I sold off most of my Leicas - an M2, M3 and R6.2 with a
couple of R lenses, which leaves me with a IIIF (which survived
because I forgot to take it to London!) a few slow M lenses (35/50/90)
and a Leitaxed100mm macro R lens. Yesterday, I sold off a Mamiya 645E
with three lenses. That leaves me with a Nikon F, F2AS, F3 Titanium,
F4 & F100 and a Rolleiflex 3.5F. I will not sell the F3 Titanium or
the Rolleiflex (in mint condition and just too beautiful to let go!),
the rest have to go. There is no market here, I have to figure where
to dispose them off - most of them have been in the extended family
all their useful lives, and have been quite heavily used, though all
of them work - including the F & F2 meters.

Cheers
Jayanand
