Spoiler I was hoping to snare them without using a buy now just a low bid

[Desmond]

I've just been offered a 200mm F2.0 for $2000 ! I didn't know they also came in MF , always thought there was only one model and it was AF ?

The first one on market is April 1977 with Ai spec and 1982 it updated to Ai-s.

200/2 manual focus seems like a brave and foolish move.

Edit - unless its for portrature.

As suggested above the MF 200 F2.0 has been around for some time.

Note that the exotic old manual focus telephoto you really want is this one: http://www.cameraquest.com/nf3002.htm

[Desmond]

I just declined it - not going manual focus

[SteveB]

A Benbo 2 tripod.
You either love them, hate them or have never used one. They're like wrestling with drunken bagpipes but if you want something stable that you can position exactly where you want the camera for nature, close-up & macro, they're hard to beat.

[Jos]

A great list of old gear, if you collect cameras have a look

I'm selling my Nikon SU800 flash commander , 3X Nikon SB24 flashes and my Nikon 70-200 F2.8VR lens .
If anyone has any other camera gear to entice me to do a swap we can negotiate - but will still do it via trademe so as not to bypass their fees .
I've just ordered a Nikon J1 with the 10-30 lens so other cx lenses perhaps ... whatever , let me know what you have to offer ....

[randomguy]

FYI - I was at ProGear on Friday and they had 2 5D mark2's, grade 8-9 used (near new, mint etc). Listed at $1850 incl GST. Might be gone now but worth a go!

[rjd]

$1850!? oooh...

[randomguy]

$1850!? oooh...

yes indeed. he said they've sold 55 5D Mk3's ($5000 incl GST) and those were the only 2 that were traded in so far.

[rjd]

Apparently sold, tho still on the website.

And the $1950 one on trademe went before I could hit BIN !

That's too bad, you can always get them to ring you when another one gets traded in.

[rjd]

Yeah.

Tis not just the camera cost , 10-20 -> 17-40L, 17-55-> 24-105 & RSS or markins L plate too.

Should be nicely sorted after that

[mrfinster]

A nice looking olympus EPL-1 with a 17mm pancake.

Though no kit zoom, manuals, charger or boxes

[Lia]

The plot thickens..interested to hear how you get on

[Arthurhh]

A site like tardme. Hm maybe that's seller.co.nz although there are a few others.

I reckon you should have informed the Insurance co (or have you) since if you don't they will hold you liable.

[SteveB]

Pentax 50mm f/1.2 with EOS adapter.

It's in the Canon section so Pentax folks may have missed it and I know there are a few on here that use manual focus lenses.

[CWyatt]

Have some B/W darkroom printing paper and 35mm negative preservers if anyone wants some.

[MikeW]

Nikon 85mm f/1.8 in VG condition with $350 buy now. That's about $100 under the going rate I believe. Seller with good feedback. If I didn't already have one...

[Desmond]

Maybe someone could scoop a bargain here . I just sold my Nikon 70-200VR for $2200 - here's one in "well used" condition sitting at $620 reserve met - auction closes in 13 hours .

[duncanm]

Hmmm

Something smells about this auction - far too much of a bargain:

Looks ok to me. It hasn't finished yet. Unless the guy has had his account hacked, he has over 3300 sales and 99.5 feedback. $1 reserve attract a bigger audience

[duncanm]

I wouldn't put a 16-35mm on $1 reserve - no way.

Just over 2 hours to go - unless bidding goes crazy, someone will bag a bargain...
