  1. If anybody is interested in the 100mm f3.5 lens, I have one that is as-new. Absolutely pristine with the original red velour lined box with caps, case, and finder. The case is in its original box, also. It even has the packet of Canon silica gel that came with it. It's a real beauty. I'm asking $175 plus shipping. This is far less than I paid for it 10-12 years ago.
  2. Feel free to message me and I can send you a list of (almost) everything that I've got. I've got several neat lenses in M39 including an extremely nice 3.5cm f3.5 Summaron. The Summaron appears in one of the CL photos. Another one is a mint 100mm f3.5 Canon in the original red velour-lined box with caps, case, finder, and even the Canon silica gel packet. Likely never used. This one does not appear in the photo. I've got a dozen or so Nikkor lenses (all non-AI) including the 35/3.5 PC and the 85/1.8, both in near-mint condition. The 85/1.8 actually looks brand-new. I have the bubble and original box for it. I have both the 10.5cm f2.5 and 13.5cm f3.5 Nikkors in S-mount. Both are the newer versions. I sold my SP a few years ago but the buyer didn't take all of my lenses for it. How about Takumars? I've got a super-nice 35/2.3. The only flaw is a tiny mark on the focusing ring. It has the original AOC cap. Such a cool lens! Also a 105/2.8 semi-auto, also with AOC cap. I've also got a 35/2 Super Takumar. It's not the large one; it's the newer (but not SMC) smaller version. Not a mark on it. I've got a 200/4 preset Takumar in original case which looks like new. You get the idea - too much to list here. I always tried to get the nicest stuff that I could find. No junk.
  3. OK. I'm sure that it is just me...but I do not see an option for "edit". I apologize for failing to make it clear in my original post: I am not willing to split up the P67 outfit. If I do sell it, it would only be as a complete outfit. Sorry.
  4. I wasn't sure if this is an acceptable way to list a camera collection for sale, but I thought that this would be easier than trying to list everything on this forum individually. I figured that it would be far easier to merely provide the link to my Craigslist ad which includes fairly detailed descriptions. I don't really have set prices established for everything and I wasn't expecting anyone to be interested in the entire lot. OTOH, I'd certainly entertain such an offer. As of right now (5 April), the only thing that is sold is the Rollei 35. Regarding the Pentax 67 outfit: The body has seen little use and is in amazing condition. I purchased it in 1998. Shortly thereafter, I bought the 45/4 lens brand-new. It has been my go-to lens but, again, has not been used much at all. I also have the 90/2.8 which, like the 45, is the newer style with rubber focusing ring. I also have the 200/4 and the 135/4 Macro. Both of these are the older style. I also have a Kenko 2x teleconverter. It's really a nice set. I don't really need to sell it. So I am not willing to give it away. Vintage Film Camera Collection - photo/video - by owner -...

  5. I've been a photo dot net member for 20+ years, but I'm still a relative newbie to the world of digital. So I'm posting this question under "Beginner": How large can I go with having a 4:3 image enlarged professionally? Although I purchased a Digital Rebel in 2003, I never liked it and I never shot anything with it that I considered worthy of enlarging. I purchased a Fuji X-T4 last spring and have finally gotten around to using it. I vacationed in the North Georgia mountains two weeks ago and my wife went gaga over one of my shots. I used my 16mm f2.8 lens and the image is pretty sharp. So how large can I get away with and still maintain decent resolution? I shot it in jpeg, not raw. Assuming that the print turns out nicely, I'll have it framed and give it to the Mrs for Christmas. I've had a number of fairly big enlargements made from 6x7 negatives and transparencies. But I just don't know what I can get away with using the X-T4. While we're at it, if someone could recommend a good lab, I'd appreciate that, also. I'm not looking for cheap. I don't mind paying good money for good quality. How about shipping an enlargement flat as opposed to having it rolled and shipped in a tube? I've been using the same frame shop for 20 years. So I'm sure that they can deal with a rolled print. And I'm sure that rolled is going to cost a whole lot less to ship. Lots of questions, I know. Thanks in advance!
  6. Although I'm not a typical "beginner" (I've been into photography longer than many on this forum have been alive), I figured that I'd post my question here: I have an old Digital Rebel (circa 2003) that I have not used in at least five years. I never cared for it that much and, nowadays, my phones take better pictures with far less hassle. My latest phone is a Galaxy S10. With its modest wide-angle capability, I have even less incentive to break out the Canon. I hope to retire in a few years and would like to purchase a new digital outfit. I hope this to be the last camera that I will ever have to buy. But what to get? My background: As I said in my opening sentence, I know photography reasonably well - at least the basics. I am far behind the curve when it comes to digital. I do not even have basic image-editing software on my laptop. I plan to shoot almost exclusively outdoors, mostly landscapes. I have always kept a 24mm f2 Vivitar lens on my Minolta X-700 and a 45mm Takumar on my P67. Let's call my budget $2000. What do I get? I've been looking at the Fuji X-T4. Their lenses seem to rate very well and they're not ungodly expensive. I'm leaning toward the 16mm f2.8 R WR, at least to start. I do not believe that I need the 1.4 and would rather spend the money elsewhere. I figured that I could pick up the 18-55 zoom somewhere down the road. Then again, the X-T30 seems to rate very highly at about half the price of the X-T4. I don't want to buy something and then, a year down the road, wish that I had bought something with more capabilities. OTOH, the money that I'd save buying the X-T30 would allow me to buy the 18-55 now. I have a modest collection of early Nikon F (non-AI) lenses from 24mm to 200mm, including the 35mm f3.5 PC Nikkor, which I'd love to be able to play around with. What the heck should I get? I'd like to buy ASAP while the Mrs is still in a good mood. LOL. THANKS in advance!
  7. I have a gorgeous Leitz 3.5cm f3.5 Summaron lens which I have owned for the past 10-12 years. I would call it near-mint. The lens body is pretty much flawless. The entire time that I have owned it, I have kept it on display in a covered bookcase. It has the original Leitz front cap. I am not sure about the rear cap. The cap that is on it has a matte black finish. I do not have a case or bubble for it. I've been looking at recently-completed SOLD auctions for this lens on eBay. They have been selling for between $259 and $415. The average (as of last week) was right around $350. I'll let this one go for $350 and I'll pick up the costs for USPS Priority Mail shipping and insurance in the Continental US. I'll consider shipping outside of the US at the buyer's expense. As luck would have it, this site is not allowing me to upload photos at this time. Please message me and I'll be happy to send as many photos as you'd like.
  8. I have an extremely nice 10.5cm f2.5 Nikkor P rangefinder lens. I purchased it about five years ago to go with my SP. Like the SP, it spent its entire time in my possession sitting on display in a covered bookcase. I am ashamed to say that I never took the first photo with the SP. Sadly, I sold the SP recently but the buyer did not take the 10.5 lens. This is a very pretty lens. I have the original rear cap and a later 52mm Nikkor button-snap cap. Sorry, no hood or case. The aperture and focus both work as smooth as butter. I'll be happy to provide as many photos as you'd care to see. $300 plus $20 shipping will include USPS Priority Mail (to Continental US) with tracking and insurance.
  9. I am, by no means, a camera expert. Just an old guy with an appreciation for old film cameras. I have a Leica M3 Double-Stroke that I have owned for the better part of ten years. The serial number is 841181 which, I believe, dates it to 1956. I bought this camera from the original owner's son (so I was told). It truly is in gorgeous condition. The only negative cosmetically: there are a few very faint rub marks on the top plate. The bottom plate is nearly flawless. I am embarrassed to say that I have never run a roll of film through this camera. It has spent the past ten years sitting on a shelf in a barrister bookcase. I do not own any M lenses (not only am I old, I am poor). But I do have two LTM-to-M adapters and a few LTM lenses including a near-mint 5cm f2 collapsible Summicron and a 3.5cm f3.5 Summaron in the same (or nicer) condition. I have an MR meter (mint) and original case (avg) for the M3. I am asking $900 for the body only. I would be willing to make a package deal for anyone interested in the meter, case, and lenses. I also have a near-mint iiig that I may be interested in selling. I would be happy to provide as many photos as anyone would want to see.
  10. I'm lazy. so rather than typing a new listing, I'm just going to paste the link to my CraigsList ad: Vintage Camera Collection - Nikon & Leica Forgive the way this is written for CL. I'm sure that most of you reading this know more about the equipment than I do. I have not sat down and come up with prices for anything. I am more or less "fishing" to see if there is any interest in any of it. I probably should have started here rather than CL. Then again, I'd much rather sell locally than deal with shipping. I know about what I paid for most of this stuff. And, as I said in the listing, I'm not giving anything away. I'm just getting old and thought that this equipment should find a new home. What else...the SP is the titanium curtain version. It's not mint, but it is darned pretty. The M3 is gorgeous - just a few minor rubs on the top plate but you have to look carefully to see them. The iiig shutter sticks a little bit on slow speeds. So probably needs CLA if you plan to use it. But it is very pretty, too. The Summicron is awesome. I also have a sweet 3.5cm Summitar. Another cool lens is a 100mm f3.5 Canon LSM like brand-new, still in the velvet-lined box. I'll happily send a list of all of the lenses upon request.
