Thanks Dave I'm very reluctant to sell this one as I don't think I'd find another like it, but I've spent a bit lately on a new laptop, so it's time to move it on.

Final lens for sale from me is a Sigma 28mm F2.8 Mini Wide Macro with its original case. Excellent condition, optics have no scratches, no fungus, there is no oil on the blades, everything works as it should. Original front cap, generic rear cap. Build quality is great on this lens, it's a bargain at £28 including RMSD.

More rationalisation! This one is a bit of a rarity, you can find these on ebay etc., but this example is in absolutely pristine condition, looks like it has hardly ever been used; no external damage, no scratches, no fungus, no oil on blades, everything works beautifully.

It is an early Takumar 200mm F5.6 Pre-set version (later models were called Tele-Takumars) and has the lovely 10 rounded blade aperture at the front of the lens. These pre-set Taks are a joy to use in AV mode on a digital SLR. Comes with a free UV filter, original metal hood, fitted K-mount adaptor (spring clip removed) so you can use it just like a bayonet lens, front and rear caps (not original). I think this lens dates from the early '60's so it is in remarkable nick for a piece of this vintage. Takes very sharp images at all apertures, contrast and colours are also pretty remarkable for a lens of this age. £48 including RMSD.

Another fabulous legacy lens for sale as I have too many 50's. This is a Pentax-M 50mm F1.4, a very sharp optic and one that renders colour beautifully. This example is virtually mint, no damage worth mentioning, no scratches, no fungus, no oil on blades, everything works as it should. I will throw in a UV filter too. The only issue is that the plastic original front cap has one of the springy bits missing, but still clips on OK. £75 including RMSD.

I need to rationalise my lens collection, so am reluctantly selling my beautiful SMC K135 F2.5 lens. The lens is virtually mint, hardly any signs of use, optically clean, no fungus, no scratches and no oil on blades. Everything works perfectly. The screw-in hood has some cosmetic rubbing of the black finish, as all hoods of this vintage do.

I'm sure you will all know the pedigree of this superb lens, lovely warm, sharp images and gorgeous bokeh.

£138 including RMSD.

Redsnappers without braced legs are very stable, in fact much more stable than a Velbon C600 I also have which does have braces, but also has some plastic fittings. The Redsnapper is all metal - mine's been out in 60mph winds in the Peak District and managed to get some shake-free images. The lack of bracing is not a downside, in fact it's a bonus as it allows the legs to spread very wide for low angle use - mine gets employed this way quite a lot.

It holds any of my kit with ease, including the K-5 and Sigma 150-500 which is a fairly heavy combination.

They are not expensive for the quality you get; heavy use for almost two years and no signs of it feeling any strain yet.

2nd & 3rd shots are stunners - well worth getting up at this time so you can shoot the light that you only get on a still early morning.
