Two years ago when the cashback offer on the K20D finished, they
actually put the price up

If you want AF, which isn't much use with macros... use a macro lens

Tubes with the 'A' contacts usually sell for £60-£70 on ebay

Thanks for the quick transaction chaude

That's good to know... I wonder if they have all the correct diagnostic software?

I'm glad I gave up on ever owning an Autorange 820 in 1999 when I bought my first digital £1,789

I kept the test report from AP dated 22/29 Dec. 1990 (Xmas Edtn.)
I've just dug it out to look at the lens test Puts most others to shame. It's 6x9cm and the edge is as good as the centre at f/11 and f/16 + it's almost the same at the lower apertures, only 3 lpmm dif. at f/8

The resolution is almost the same as 1990 AP 35mm lens tests.
Reaches 100 lpmm at f/8 from 80 wide open, so it's sharp wide open
Peaks at f/16 with 110 lpmm which was normal for a pre-computer design. (I mean a peak at f/16 was normal not 110 lpmm more like 50-60 lpmm normal).

I'm quite sure non of the German 6x6, 6x9 lenses would have been this good. This was a pre-war design as well

The focusing was unusual the lens was fixed and everything slid back into the body.

The only thing I didn't like about Ensigns was that they had too many screws showing on the bodies, where the Germans used to hide them.

Ensign Autorange 820 with the superb 105mm Xpres f/3.8 has always been a camera that I fancied owning. A folder that does 6x9cm and will almost fit in your pocket. That's bigger negs/trans than say Pentax 6x7. They used to go for around £200, but I never came across one. I almost bought an Ensign Commando from Haggerty's in Southport in the 90's that was the closest I ever saw to the Autorange 820. I actually came out of the shop with a Super Ikonta instead

They do go for high prices for some reason nowdays, probably collectors I can't imagine anyone actually wanting one to use paying £828+ The bellows look a bit iffy?

London isn't the model..... It's where it was made

This looks interesting using a TI Graphing Calculator to fire the camera, shouldn't need any extra parts.

Good Time Lapse video halfway down the page.

GX-20's were still on sale during the summer of 2009 and carried a 2 year warranty quite a lot will still have about 6 months warranty left. Not exactly the kind of service that you expect from a camera company aiming to be in the top 3 shortly

You can get details from the OFT. The PO are your sub-contractor nothing to do with the buyer.

How long would you be Happy for!
