Here we have a beautiful example of Nikon's iconic fast fifty. This is the "S·C" version, which as far as I know was only made in the pre-Ai F mount. This lens does have an Ai mount, so it was presumably modified at some point: the conversion is expertly done, perhaps by Nikon itself (I think you could send in your pre-AI lenses for modification for a while). It will now work with modern Nikon SLRs and DSLRs.  Anyway, this lens is in excellent condition. Glass is clean and clear, no fungus, no haze. There is a tiny mark on the rear element (visible in the second photo) but otherwise the glass appears pristine and unmarked. Iris blades are clean and snappy. Aperture selector moves nicely, focus is even. Includes original front and rear caps (the classy old Nippon Kogaku type that feel like bakelite) and the lens's HS-1 hood.  Be sure to check out my other sales.

This very solid projector for 35 mm slides is in good condition. I tested it with some slides and it works perfectly -- tray (not included) advances properly, slides move in and out smoothly. It's fully manual and very satisfying to operate. Leitz Elmaron 100 mm f/2.8 lens is clean and clear. Includes carrying case and lens cap.

Here we have a Linhof Technika IV 5x7-inch (13x18 cm) camera. It is in pretty good used condition, and appears to be fully functional. The front standard take a bit of pushing to get onto the track, but all the movements and adjustments are smooth. There are no pinholes that I can see in the bellows (I checked with a flashlight). Ground glass is included, and viewing hood is intact. The handle leather is cracked: I would not trust it to hold the camera. The leatherette is peeling or missing in a few places, so if you want the camera to look its best you should plan to recover it, and I'm sure it would benefit from a CLA, but I believe it's usable as it is. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Camera Sanctuary: Like you, I love cameras.

This is a nice example of Canon's update to the classic AE-1. Everything appears to work and overall condition is good except for a slight bend in the hot shoe retention rails. You can still attach a flash (I'm including a Canon Speedlite in the sale). Shutter fires, curtains look good, wind-on is smooth, viewfinder is clean and clear, battery compartment is clean, frame counter advances and resets properly. Also includes body cap and finger grip.

This Rolleiflex T is in very good condition and appears to be fully functional. Glass is clean and clear, with no haze, no fungus. There is a small scratch on the viewing lens but no marks that I can see on the taking lens. Shutter fires on all speeds, sounds good. Focus is smooth throughout the range. Viewing screen (split prism) is in good condition. Viewing hood pops up and folds down neatly as it should, magnifying loupe works. Back fits nicely, locks properly.  This is one of the later Ts, which supports shooting 16 6x4.5 cm frames on a roll of 120 film, as well as the more typical 6x6 12 exposure configuration. The mask for shooting 6x4.5 is included and installed in the camera -- be sure to pop it out if you want to shoot 6x6! Removing the mask automatically sets the frame counter to 12 mode. The sport finder mask for shooting reduced frames (actually 5.5x4) is also included, but not pictured. Be sure to check out my other sales.

Straight out of the GDR comes this wide-angle screw mount lens, in acceptable user condition. Glass is reasonably clean with some internal dust -- no fungus, no haze.

I tested this SX-70 with a new pack of film: the motor runs, but the dark slide does not eject.  When I press the shutter button, the camera appears to a take a picture (mirror flips, and longer shutter speeds are used in low light) but no film is ejected.  Apart from the that, the camera looks nice. The lens looks good, and the viewfinder is clean and clear.  Be sure to check out my other sales.
