Flea Market Raid

Next city flea market started today, my visit was delayed a bit because of a meeting at university, but at 10 am, I was already in the middle of the market. I think it got bigger, compared to last year, but on my first round, I haven’t found anything usefull. Just an cheap EOS body that will become a hot shoe donor.

The same booth, but much later, when I was there again with Gervin then had quite a few lenses for and from Nikon.
I took a 135/2.8 and 50/2 (the 135mm looking pretty used outside, the 50/2 a stiff aperture ring) for 40€, and a broken FM2 for another 3€ that will be a spare part donor. Allready have an eye on the bottom plate. The matte screen looks better too.
Gervin found a Tamron 70-210 (tiny) with fitting Nikon Adaptall ring, a russian 35/2 (looks like new and pretty sharp too) and a quite beat up, but nevertheless nicely working Canon F1 with 24/2.8, each for 20€, but I’m pretty sure the F1 set would have been more when it wasn’t for the stand-in seller. Pretty lucky :P

For the rest of the market, I have met quite a few friends there, but yet not found any more stuff to buy. There there is another half day tomorrow. And I plan to take the pole tomorrow. Michi, when you read this, any chance I can pick up the 8mm tomorrow?
