OT: Old camera gear for free...
Andy Hewitt
I've tried eBay, without success (even at just above postage costs), so
now trying the 'up for grabs' route with groups I feel deserve the
chance.
It'll be a first come first served basis, and posted cheapest possible
way.
* OM mount Vivitar 2x converter in leather case.
* square filter kit, made by Ensign, but is about the same as the Cokin
series A size (57mm). A set of effects filters, red and blue grads,
starburst, soft with clear centre, sepia and warm, as well a a small set
of vignette masks. Comes with a 49mm/52mm threaded adapter and filter
holder.
* Vivitar 52mm adjustable polarising filter, with a 49mm step down
adapter.
* Two 'flower' lens hoods, screw on type, 1x 49mm, 1x 52mm. A bit crap,
as they don't rotate (bought cheap off eBay).
* Canon 'Snappy' 35mm compact camera, with instructions. Fixed focus P&S
film camera. Might be ideal for teaching kids about real photos.
Yeah, I know it probably belongs in the adverts group, but I'm not sure
many look there now.
Email me if interested (address is valid).

Yes, 8-9 years back there were enough adverts that one checked
everyday. Now it's a good month if there are more than one or two.
If no-one here is interested, you could try Freecycle. With the
virtual death of 35mm photography, I found this the easy way to get
rid of unwanted kit (including complete camera/lens sets). However,
if any reader has some Pentax K-mount kit gathering dust, my hands are
already held out ... ...

If you can't find a kid to donate the Snappy too, then I'll take it off
your hands, I've got a few bits of old Canon stuff collected.

I have two Tamrons- a 17mm and a 28mm, both with Adaptall 2 K-mounts.
They're lovely lenses, but I have to face the fact that I haven't used
either in several years, and that my Panasonic FZ-7 does everything I
want.
I'm in south east London (East Dulwich or Peckham Rye stations). Yours
if you want them.

It's yours if you want it, just send me a snailmail address.

Yes, I think I probably left these too long. Although the legacy lenses
I had sold at good prices (enough to pay for a Metz flashgun for my
E510).
Freecycle is my next stop.
Andy Hewitt
Some takers already, the following are still available:
* OM mount Vivitar 2x converter in leather case.
* Vivitar 52mm adjustable polarising filter, with a 49mm step down
adapter.
* Two 'flower' lens hoods, screw on type, 1x 49mm, 1x 52mm. A bit crap,
as they don't rotate (bought cheap off eBay).
Email me if interested (address is valid).
I'll give it a day or two, then it's Freecycle.
Cheers.

Should have said this last week when camera arrived, but was dashing out
to a conference [1].
Thanks :-)
