Been offered a 'large' collection of film and digital cameras from the widow of an enthusiast, but the neighbour is going to check it out to see if there is anything he wants first!  |

Well, the cameras arrived today. There seems to be a number of Pentax compacts, two Sony, fairly recent videocameras, a radio cassette. The only things of interest to me are a Petri 6 slr with defective shutter and a 135 and 35 mm Petri lenses to go with it. The lenses aren't great. There was a Ilford 400 b/w partially exposed film with a note on the camera dating from 1986. The film will go back to the seller! Also a working Weston meter with Invercone.
To add to the above. One of the videocameras is quite recent and can record onto a 8cm dvd disc. I charged the battery and tried it out. It works, but the set-up and operation of it via the touchscreen is too complicated for me. Years ago I had a Sony video recorder with tapes. All you had to do with that was turn it on and start recording........... Progress!
