Today's Picks...

OK, I am excited about this, so I have to share. A friend of mine is moving (retiring) and I received a list of cameras he has for sale. Picked up an original Boy Scout and Girl Scout Kodak Brownie and a minty Nikon S2 with the 1.4 lens. One of my dream cameras and am thrilled!

Good. Always nice to get something of interest.

I have been wanting an S series Nikon for YEARS now. Here in China, they are almost never for sale, and when they are, it is $2-3,000. So, pretty stoked.

Be well,

I have wanted one for years now, but here in China, they run about $2,000 (12,000 RMB) and 99% of those are not for sale. So, when my friend told me $350, I pounced on it. Near mint condition as well. I also purchased original Boy Scout and Girl Scout brownies and a WW2 Japanese aerial camera. Very, very cool. I have an American one, so it will be good to have them together. Best week of camera picking in my life.

I know. I almost felt guilty, but it quickly passed. Then he wrote me and said "I should have revised the price, but a deal is a deal". I respected that, so told him I would also take the Japanese camera, which I had admired in his office, so he was happy. Plus he knew they were going to someone who would love and cherish them.

Yes love the S2 as well. Nice blessing.
