So many cameras, so many lenses, all slipped through my fingers on the way from collections (mine and my clients) to the great eBay in the ether.....The trouble is that when you agree to sell a camera collection, for a commission of course, there are so many beautiful things it's criminal to let them be sold. It doesn't matter what make, age or type of equipment, when a pristine example arrives then it's time to fall in love with it. I have had some really gorgeous lenses as well as cameras and even some accessories can have an appeal. But sold they were, so here's some pictures of a few that hurt to see go.
K Series Pentax bodies from 1975
SMC Pentax-M 20mm f/4 lens, very compact but masses of barrel distortion
Nikon FM2
Baldaxette II, 1938
Newman's Patent Shutter
Nikon F2 Photomic with 35mm Nikkor
Thai Knives, Forks and Spoons
Olympus Pen F
Projector
Photo Sniper Outfit
Imperial Meter
Voigtlander Bessamatic
Rollei 35
As you can see, not all those items were photographic, but they were all very, very nice.
