Is it a MEII winder or the dedicated A series one? The former are very common and cheap as chips, the latter gets a better price.

A decent Pro1D Skylight or UV is almost the same price as the lens!
I'll stick with the Hoya I think!

I wouldn't like to be the judge on this one... looks like a bumper crop of entries.

Best wishes, Kris.

Womble - do as I did and add a couple of small items and get free delivery.
Just the skylight filter would do it!

I often see what are clearly custom plates and have no idea what they are supposed to mean or say. Those are a bit of a waste of time really.

It appears to be home delivery only. I cannot find a store in London or Herts which has it in stock.

Best wishes, Kris.

The fact is that very few people are now shooting film; lots of Super As were made, so it has no scarcity value; and you can now buy an LX for under £200.00.
Not often. About 250 is more usual.

Goodie... I can get a spare to back up my one. And maybe I can afford that 5x4" enlarger to go with my Horseman view camera.

I subscribe to two magazines (Outdoor Photographer and BW Photography) and I am surprised at how many people are still using film. It it a minority niche, but I think it will survive as just that. Not because film is better, just because it is different. There is, for example, a growing market for pin hole cameras. Old Russian Lomos are now going up in value. What is just so much junk are people's precious all singing all dancing multimode autofocus film cameras. Too similar to modern digital offerings with none of the benefits.

Just my 2p worth.

Pretty rare lens that, you should get a good price here or on ebay but, my isn't it an odd looking beast!

Good luck with the sale, I wish I could afford it!

snip... it is quite adequate to remember that what is called "full frame" actually was the smallest of formats available in the old days.

What about the Pentax 110 system? Dire film but lovely little cameras and lenses.

Best wishes, Kris.
