Well winter’s closing in, here, the temperature has plummeted to the 
mid-twenties celsius and it’s time to sell off more of the stuff I 
hardly used this summer (or the previous one as well for that matter). 
Had my fun with these but now I’ve got something else that does the job 
for me and I’m bored with being both anally retentive AND in debt. 
Usual list member deal – no bargains but if you’re not happy or you 
find something I missed, I’ll refund.
Offers off list please. Reasons for selling cheerfully supplied, if you 
care. All suggested prices in US dollars, postage not included! I 
haven’t been watching ebay lately so if you think my suggested prices 
are too high, haggle dammit. I may say no but then again…

(and my connection kept crashing when I tried to send this so obviously 
my ISP doesn't think I should sell them either).

Treasures –
Kindai OM-EOS adaptor – use Zuikos on an EOS film or digital body (I 
used it with the 16 and 18mm zuiks). Virtually as new (one mounting 
mark) and with genuine caps.  This cost me nearly $200 inc. postage 
from Cameraquest – yours for $150 including postage anywhere.

16mm f3.5 fisheye. I hate to see this little fellow go but needs must. 
Later model with L39(UV) filter, yellow and red/orange. Close to mint 
(couple of tiny, tiny bright marks on aperture ring which I wouldn’t 
even mention on a lesser lens). In case, with caps. Suit new buyer as 
they say. Best offer over US$600.

65-116 Macro tube. Scales for 80 and 135mm macro lenses. Can’t find a 
mark on it – optically perfect too.   Hardly used (by me either – 
impulse purchase). New tripod mount (I bought it). Lovely thing and 
gotta be worth at least US$250.

OM4Ti complete with new Grip 1 and Eyecup 2. Gorgeous and fully 
serviced about 1 year ago. I found one nick on a corner of the 
baseplate. (I did that, ‘cos it’s a new baseplate). I don’t think 
you’ll find a better one. I love it but it’s not earning its keep any 
longer. It owes me about $800 but I’ll take a bit less than that of 
course (sigh). I’ll put a 50/1.4 body cap in the mix as a bargaining 
chip – serial # over the million.

300mm f4.5 MC. Fine late example although the tripod mount may be older 
– it has a metal knob. With correct caps and case (new front lens cap). 
There’s a small mark on the hood which I took a ‘sharpie’ type black 
marker to – otherwise lovely. Best offer over $250.

Varimagni Finder As new, in box – what more can I say? $120ish.

Auto 7mm Extension Tube in it’s little, velvet box – ideal for serious 
close up with a wide angle. I’ll throw in an off brand 20mm and 35mm 
tube as well as an inducement, if you want to pay the extra postage. 
How about $40?

And the more mundane stuff
200mm F4 – good condition, some internal dust but performs very well. 
Genuine caps. A much underappreciated lens. I think. Any advance on 
$120?

75-150mm F4 – good user, fair condition, genuine caps. I’ve taken some 
of my nicest with this one. Around $120 again?

28mm F2.8 – with caps and rubber hood, in rough case. Lovely 
lightweight high performer. Around $100?

T32/PB2 outfit – Bounce grip rough but serviceable. Includes flash 
cable and leather hand grip but no M grip cord (easy to make one if you 
need it). $160 or thereabouts.

Odds and sods

OM ‘T’ mount - $10
Tamron Adaptall 2 ‘OL’ mount – suits OM3/4 - $20
Metal Hoods – 28/2 (good) and 35/2 (worn) - $20
Altrex Duo-Sync Cord – off-camera flash cord for ‘T’ series flashes - 
$20
Hard case for 24mm F2.8 – nice, not perfect - $10
