If you plan on selling at the BIFB market stall (being run by the
Melbourne Silver Mine), you may want to give others in the group a
heads-up in case they're interested. This is completely up to you of
course, but if you'd like to offer first-dibs to your gear, please
post here with the item/s, and how much you're hoping to get.

To keep this thread tidy, if you'd like to respond to someone's post,
please contact them via email (easy to find by clicking their name at
the top of any post) rather than creating a string of posts regarding
a single item.

If any sales do take place here, you're more than welcome to use the
"pickup meet" (yep, I went there) as a place to exchange cash for
goods and/or services.

YAY!

It's yours Dee!
I can't seem to edit my post to mark it as taken, but I'm sure this is
clear enough.

Thanks Ross. Good thread.

I have a wooden 8x10 I wouldn't mind getting rid of:

A Gundlach Korona 8x10 wooden camera with brand new bellows and ground
glass. In working order. $300.

Cheers,

Zaeem

Well Jock, if you find you need to sell that Nikon rangefinder in
order to finance your Fujica acquisition, give me a yell :)

Tom - very interested in the SX70 for Lea. How much would you like?

- Leica M4-2. Leather on the back has a bump in it, and the baseplate
has some felt that's mostly rubbed off (this is how it came when I
bought it in September 2010) but there are no problems actually using
it. It really is a lovely thing, purely mechanical, no batteries -
everything you need, and nothing you don't. I upgraded to an M6 and
now have a CL as a kind of backup, or I'd keep it). $900.
- Voigtländer Bessa R4A. Bought September 2008, works great, one or
two bumps around the corners. Have original box if that excites you. I
may be willing to part with my Voigtländer 28mm f/2 Ultron lens to
make a package for this, but it'd really have to be a good offer.
$650.
- Voigtländer 50mm Nokton f/1.5. Purchased at probably the Camberwell
Camera Market a few years ago. Works fine, looks great inside (a few
spots on the B+W UV filter that came with it, but never had any
issues), though there's a bit of brassing on the outside. Will do a
deal on this and the Leica if you like. Selling because I've already
got a Jupiter-8 and now a Summicron (and the Nokton 40mm which is
smaller than this), so I don't really need a 3rd 50mm lens. $400.
- Fuji GA645i. Bought from KEH in January. Works great, but it isn't
really for me. Someone at work has first dibs, but I've warned them
I'm taking it to the market on Sunday so they need to be quick. You
could have second dibs if you want :) $500.
- Yashica T3 Super. Lovely Zeiss 35mm f/2.8 Tessar lens trapped in an
ugly body. $80
- Canon 10-22 mm f/3.5-4.5 EF-S lens (ie. ends up being like a 16-35
on a cropped-sensor Canon DSLR body). Lots of fun. Has a UV filter on
it, I think. Comes with hood (though the felt's been worn away in
places) and boxes, if you want. $600.

I think that's it? Ask me if there's anything else I have that you're
interested in.

I'm interested in these things, if anyone has one going:
- an Olympus XA4.
- some kind of fairly compact folding 6x6 thing (eg. Seagull 203).
- an 85mm (or 90mm) rangefinder lens (LTM or M-mount).

Okay,

Dan needs a Contax Yashica mount camera, such as a Yashica FX-3.

How was the market this year?
I turned up bright and early to get some bargains... on the Saturday,
by mistake. Anyone pick up some interesting goodies?

Late to the party but…
do you still have the Olympus 35SP Ross? I'd be quite interested if
so. I can't say I like my chances though.
Seems like the perfect entry level Rangefinder to me.

Sorry Russell, the 35SP sold very quickly. It is a great camera, but
they might be harder to find than something like a Canonet QL17, which
are apparently really good as well. Maybe keep your eyes open for one
of those.
