The good news is that a widow gave me a camera bag full of her late husband's equipment. There were 3 lenses and the one I tried out today is a Tokina SD 12-24 (IF) DX I mounted it on my Canon 70D and shot a few frames on my home from work before it got dark outside. I shot at 24 mm and then moved it to 12mm but got an error that the lens was not communicating. So I turned off the camera, took the lens off and and turned it back on. That worked but it wont shoot at 12mm. I noticed in the viewfinder the black edges or vignette. I never had a lens this wide and was hoping to get some real estate photos. The camera in the bag is a Cznon EOS digital rebel XTi. So the question is Canthis camera and lens work together?

Thanks. William I am glad it is still active.

What happened to the Forum for equipment buy and sell? I liked to look at what was available. Now it seems to have disappeared. Anyone have any info?

This camera, Argus C3, was part of the plot of the movie I watched last night Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. The movie is set in the 1940s and a reporter named Polly Perkins has this camera and at the end only has two frames of film left so she has to decide to click a photo or wait for something better to shoot.

You got a good deal. All the features in a small camera: autofocus, auto exposure, auto wind and rewind Pop up, flash and a zoom lens. Small, light and functional.

currently caught hipsters attention: >>>>> Canon AE-1 and Pentax K1000

OUCH!

I am not sure what to ask. What is a fair offer gentleman to gentleman?

I would like to find someone who wants this collection of vintage flash bulbs I acquired while back. This was part of a huge lot of cameras and photo equipment. Perhaps there are a few special people using the old cameras. Maybe some one wants these not necessarily to use, but to add to a collection of vintage camera equipment. I can pack them very safely and ship to the USA only. Here is the list: 11 Sylvania 40B press (screw mount) 12 Focal/Kmart 5B (bayonet mount) 12 Sylvania 25B press 7 Sylvania M2B 12 Sylvania M3 (5 clear and 7 blue) 4 Sylvania M2B 11 GE M3 B 12 Focal/Kmart M3B 4 No. 5 Westinghouse 6 tiny not sure of the manufacturer 3 Sylvania Flash cubes
