Couldn't resist a box of "parts" camera's for 35€
Here's what i've kept:
Pentax ME F with AF zoom1:2.8 35-70mm The ME F was missing the battery door, i've got two ME F's but only one has the 35-70 AF zoom. I've tested the one that came in the box and it works just fine with my ME F body. I'm not going to bother trying to find a battery door for the one that came in the box as i think it will be next to inpossible to find one, still the body will be kept in the parts bin.
Cosina E1 Solar with Cosina 70-210mm zoom, good condition save for that the shutter releases when winding the film, the other E1 i've got has exact the same problem. So far the net hasn't been helpfull in pointing out what's causing this problem.
Regula Kalimar viewfinder camera with 1:2.8 45mm everything works including the cds light meter.
Nikon coolpix 950, works but AF is noisy
2 Canon FD lenses 50mm 1:1.8 and 135 3.5 both in good condition.
Nikon D40 unable to test it (no battery)
Vivitar 283 flash, working OK (gonna keep it out of nostalgia as back then it was my first serious "computer" system flash)
Metz CT 45 flash battery cradle damaged
The rest: some 110 and early digital point and shoots, some filters, sun shades, small flash guns, etc... all have now gone to the charity shop.
So all in all i think the 35€ was well spent :-)
