My apologies to all those who have shown an interest in this kit, as I have not had the time or internet access to keep an eye.

I am very temporarily removing the items for sale, and will relist them very soon with photos and postage costs for those interested.

My chaotic life will calm down in the next fortnight, and I will be in a position to give the sale my fullest attention.

All receipts included, and most of the kit is still in warranty!

I will hive off the sundry items if nescessary, but would prefer to sell the bulk items together if possible.

Offers for groups of items also considered.

Picked up a SMC Takumar 28 f3.5 M42. All seems clean, fungus free, and with snappy blades and nice clicking f stops and half stops. Some very minor wear of paint in a couple places. Only thing is the Auto/Manual switch won't budge from Auto. Does anyone know if this is an issue or easily remedied?

Came with original case (no strap) and both caps. Anyone have an idea how much these usually go for, as this is my first Tak lens?

I find a Sherpa is the best bet, and if you can find one that can cook then you have a perfect combination.

Actually I think its eating all the Goldfinches, Thrushes, Bluetits and every other type of bird bar a Blackbird.
It's all we seem to get in our garden anyway.
Probably too fat to catch the blackbird now. Goldfinches are very rich....
