Look what 5€ got me

[belgiumreporter]

At our local charity shop i've paid 5 Euros for what's on the pic, Pentax S1a, takumars 50mm 2, 28mm 3.5, 135mm3.5,200mm 4, all in like new condition (exept for the 135) and with the original sunshades. They were unable to test this stuff and sold it as is. I didn't need much testing to know this was a good deal. It give you such a nice and warm feeling doing charity  . A second thought came to me, film is getting more expensive than cameras.



You can't win 'em all though as somebody snatched the early pentax 35-70 autofocus lens that i am chasing for over 3 years away in front of my nose for 35€

Great bargain, the square lens hood alone is worth 4 times what you paid.

I am envious. I have been searching for an H1a or spotmatic. Such shops don't exist here, unfortunately.

Cor, lucky boy. The last Pentax screw mount camera I saw in a charity shop was a Spotmatic that they wanted £160 (€200) for and that wasn't in anyway as good condition, I am very very jealous.

Very nice catch, Francois!
And to think I sold my S1A for 60 euros some months ago...
