How do I test the meter to find if it works?

I put in a 625 button cell with the positive side (+) up.

When I look through the viewfinder am I suppose to see some lights?

or is it just the needle thats suppose to go up and down?

Thanks

I have a Rollei SL35M and wanted to know if it is possible to use M42 lenses on it?

Specifically I wanted to try out Carl Zeiss Jena and Pentax Takumar M42 lenses, anyway they will fit on this camera properly?

Thanks

oh i forogt to tell you the site,

i listed it on ebay on my storefront, and then i decide as a way to test out the market to also list it as a auction. i put a reserve on it just in case this week is not a good week in the markets

im not sure im im allowed to post a link to the listing directly, so instead ill just give the address to the storefront it self http://stores.ebay.com/Brought-to-you-by-Shahdad

wow you guys are awsome,

i could spend days on the interenet trying to find and learn about this stuff

how in the world do you guys know so much about one specific camera, down the details???

i guess with anything, with experience comes knowledge.

i've collected over a 100 cameras, now that i've come to sell them i realize how little i know about each one

yes, i've listed it on ebay. i've opened a store front and slowely listing one at a time.

the fees are killer though, in 3 months i've sold 5 of 11 listed cameras, about $400 in sales & $170 in paypal & ebay fees

thanks for help!

The story is:

A few months ago I was thinking of selling my camera collection. I got some great advice from everyone here.

What I decide on was to go through the pain stacking processing of actually opening a store on eBay and start listing each camera individually

Wow, lot more difficult than you take. Several weeks later everything is put together now. yay!

Amazingly after going through many many cameras, the one question that you still cant figure out is, how much is a actually camera worth?lol

At the end of the day, you can have all the information in the world, but you still don't truly know what your camera is truly worth........

........ of course until you actually sell it.... even then, you still wonder, "Did I sell it at the right price"

Anyways, I listed my Rolleiflex Automat 2.8c for $1200. Its in excellent cosmetic condition.

What I would like your opinions on is should I sell it for an offer I got from a person in Hong Kong for $800?

Your opinions are greatly appriciated.

I have a Rolleiflex Automat 2.8c in very good cosmetic condition.

Not sure how to test it but I'm pretty certain its in good mechanical condition as well.

I was wondering how do I find out what the value of it is?

October 25, 2008

thanks a lot guys the info is very helpful

ill give it a go and see what happens

October 25, 2008

is a Cosinon Auto lens with M42 mount only for auto-focusing cameras?

Would I be able to use it with a pentax honeywell spotmatic?

thanks<div></div>

Hi all,

I was wondering if I could get some help in finding out from some of the experts on here which cameras are of

true value and which are your average ones I should let go

I only get to find out what I really have once I actually start creating a listing for each camera individually.

After researching each individual cameras on ebay's history and using my "Huge Trusty Book" - McKeown's Price

Guide I expand my knowledgeable a little more but in the end I am still left unsure if what I'm holding in my

hands is something worth keeping or what the actually value of it is in today's world

The one thing I don't want to do is sell one only to find out later that I had in my possession a rare item of

true craftsmanship.

I'm definitely going to keep the M3 and 500c... I'm only 24 I am still looking forward to the day where I can

show them off on top of the fire place

I think I'm going to be at this for a while as getting info on some of these cameras is amazingly quite

difficult, especially prices, lots of sites are in German, French and even Chinese and Japanese. So much for

using the internet lo

I know a condition scale is missing, but most cameras are in fairly good condition, cosmetic and functioning.

Any help in understanding what I truly have or even your experiences in what prices in today's market would be

greatly appreciated
