If I win the pools I would love one. Sadly, I don't do the pools...

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Nice but I'm not sure I quite agree with the description of the lens condition

"Excellent" for cosmetic condition does sound a bit optimistic but then the silver FAs are notorious for easily marked paintwork. Most of them I have seen for sale are marked and look "well-used".

Excelent is actually quite a low quality rating in SH lens terms which usually go VG, Exc-, Exc, Exc+, Exc++ Mint-, Mint. Exc is usually described as 'obvious signs of use' (ie a fair few scuffs and scratches, but no dings, and no optical issues beyond a bit of dust)

I think we need a whole new DIN standard for pre-owned lens quality description then
