Well tonight on my way in to work, I'm just about at a dead run when this guy pops out of an apartment building and said "Hey hold up, you got a minuet? Unfortunately, No I'm late for work" I reply. He sais gimme a minuet I got to run to my car....So I wait a second and call my employer to say I'm going to be late because I got flagged down and stopped by some guy.
The guy comes back from his car and sais Here and hands me a Vivitar XC-3 with M-42 Vivitar 135mm f/2.8 on Vivitar 2X1 auto teleconverter.
Preliminary inspection of the equipment the lens shows no fungus, scratches, flares and maybe a dozen specks of internal dust :shock: Teleconverter is in equal to or better shape.
The body has little ware on it but does show signs of having been opened up and some components do not opperate, and the shutter seems to have a common electronic misfire to it, it seems to be stuck at 1/1000.
I almost missed out on this camera because I was in a hurry, I guess I should stop and smell the roses more often huh.
