I picked up two rolls of boots aps film today for 20p. I'm not sure why, I don't have any aps cameras...

I have loads of Turtle wax car polish but bought more today
Do you have a car, Brian?
Do you have a car, Brian?
polished it yesterday after two years in case I use it at the meet.
That sounds so wrong.
Sorry Brian.
My sources of bargains seem to have dried up recently. My best buys lately have been a fujinon 55mm f1.8 and vivitar 24mm f2.8 in m42 thread for £40, though I had to drive to Nottingham for them and a set of extension tubes for the same m42 fitting for a "couple of quid" at Harrisons cameras.
Another boot sale find , its a Canon EOS300 with a 35-80mm F4-5.6 ultrasonic lens , also come with the Canon EH8 L semi hard case and strap , All in MINT condition , looks new , Both CR123A batteries are flat , Tested with a multi meter , 2 New ones on order , Hopefully should work with the new batteries , Not bad for £5 including the user manual

Snagged a Mayer Optik Görlitz Orestor 135mm f/2.8 in M42 mount today. An absolute beauty with go-faster zebra stripes down the side and 15 aperture blades inside! Weighs over 500 gm with the hood, though. Very long focus helicoid, and the aperture ring is a long way the far side (like with rangefinders, only more so). Finished a roll of Vista 400 this afternoon. I'll have a look at these, and maybe write a review, but I suspect I'll be moving this one on; I don't have any M42 cameras, and don't really enjoy the focus-stopped-down experience on the mount adapter
......but you still have to manually stop down on a M42 camera i.e. no auto pin...... so you might as well use the mount adapter on your Pentax.
Bought an excellent condition m42 Palinar preset 135mm f2.8 lens, she said £5, and I said £1... and she said ok. So why did I buy this lens? well it has handy caps and about 16 blades iris so could be a bokeh monster esp for portraiture. Will test it out and compare with a Canon 135mm.
Reminds of the time when I bought Zenit camera plus Helios 44-2 and preset Prinz galaxy 135 f3.5 all for £1...well I was amazed how sharp the Prinz lens was even wide open, so you never know with these old lenses.
NOTHING at 2 boot sales today
