Very nice, indeed!

Oh, you meant a Zeiss lightmeter, didn't you? :greenpbl: :lol:

I've made my 'steals' from E-bay but my best ones were from Antique stores and flea markets.

From E-bay:

A box containing a 50/1.8 Canon FD (mint), a Voigtlander CLR (mint), a bunch of filters for $25.

A Contax III (Zeiss) Kriegsmarine issue for under $200 (just the lens alone worth over $300).

A Super Ikonta B (6x6) in mint condition for just over $100.


From Antique stores:

A Kodak Ektra kit (only 2000 cameras ever made) for only $180. Those of you knowing the value of this camera know what a deal that was.

A Contax If 1933 'For China' issue in mint condition for $60.

A rare Kodak string set camera in mint condition for only $60.

A Leica IIIc body for $25. What's interesting about it, it had a large format lens (Rodenstock 147mm) screwed into the body, having the same thread.

From flea markets:

A Canon SBIV (copy of Leica) kit, with lens, shade, filters and side rail flash for $20.

A 19 inch f/11 Goerz Artar Apochromatic process lens for only $3.

A Yashicamat G for $40.



Most of the above, with the exception of the Kriegsmarine Contax and Super Ikonta B, were sold or traded.
