  1. <p>What is the diameter of that cap? I have a metal one, not sure what Topcor it fits.</p>
  2. <p>I've seen lots of his stuff on the 'bay. It's more like MSRP, not retail. He puts on an item, immediately discounts it 15 or 20 percent, and we're supposed to go, "ooooh, good deal," and buy it now. Mostly, those auctions just run out and get relisted, a circle of selling.</p>
  3. <p>I just returned to frigid Minnesota from a week in Cocoa Beach, FL. We touristed the quaint town of Cocoa and browsed an antique shop, where I found some leather lens cases with prices ranging from $5 to $25. One was really heavy and said "85mm 1.5 Canon lens." Inside I found a pristine lens, shown below. Also, for $5 and $7, were a Nikkor 43 - 86 3.5 and a 55mm Micro Nikkor, both non-AI'd, both nearly perfect. I paid my $37 and drooled on the counter while they were being bagged up for me.<br> I don't have bodies to shoot any of these lenses and am looking for recommendations which will fit my pre-retirement budget, particularly the 85 Canon, which is a screw-thread mount, likely from the 1950s or 1960s. I'm assuming the Canon is a RF lens, but am clueless on what bodies it will fit and what is affordable and reliable. Any thoughts are appreciated and I'm excited to get out and use this glass.</p><div></div>
