Not normally one to brag, but...

I'm pretty happy about this one. Found a. Old camera package on craigslist, for $40 I picked up a Vivitar 35mm camera (which sadly I probably won't use) and M42 mount 50mm 1.9, 28mm 2.8 and a 200mm 3.5, plus a 2X extender and leather cases for each.

Feels like Christmas!

Just took a few snaps with each, can't see any real dust, scratches or fungus.

Edit: Said eNay, but meant craigslist haha.

That's an impressive haul! Be great to see some shots taken with them when you have a chance. Perhaps you should have a battle of the bargains with wheatgrinder

You never know when you'll need that 30mm ef-s sigma.

I actually thought about buying that lens.

Dang man! A lot of the vintage lenses sell pretty well on eBay, if you ever need a new monitor or something you have some equity there for sure.

And yup! I'll post some photos in the next few days, only had time to run outside and take some parking lot pictures as a test, but I'll take some real ones soon.

Nice find!

Nice. Anytime you get a real bargain it's great.

Flea Marketing is the way to go.
