Hey All,
I've found a (IMO) pretty good deal here in my area on Craigslist that includes the following

*Canon AT-1 35mm SLR camera
*Canon Zoom Lens FD 100-300mm 1:5.6
*Canon 35-70mm lens
*Canon Lens FD 24mm 1:2.8 lens
*Canon Lens FD 50mm 1:1.8 lens
*Hoya 58mm NDx2 filter
*Hoya 58mm Skylight (1B) filter
*Hoya 52mm Skylight (1B) filter
*Rokinon 1A 52mm filter

Even includes a old carrying case that has dividers, the filters may be useless.

The seller is asking $120 total, which I think is a good deal considering that the 100-300mm costs $85+ on Ebay.


I have a GH1 and FD converter on the way already.

Thoughts?
 
For $120 that's definitively a good deal unless I'm missing something here. Bring a small concealed weapon to the rendezvous as this might be too good to be true.

Muahahahahah! Headline: Aspiring Filmmaker shot dead while purchasing old camera from old lady

I think I may have found one of those deals I'll be talking about years from now, as long as all the glass is as clean as she says.
 
Well I went ahead and bought them, and I'm thrilled! I was worried about only getting one lens (that what I had in my budget), but now all of my bases are pretty well covered, and I've got some ND filters that are still in great shape.

There is incredibly minor wear on all the lenses, one has shipped on the very end (looks like it was hit on something), but it appears to be sound structurally. I did notice the iris on one of the lenses has what appears to be some sort of shiny residue on 2 blades, I'm not sure if this was the original finish and that's all that's left, or it if's oil or something similar (any thoughts?).

Now let's hope my G1 and lens adapter get here on Friday.
 
Yeah that is good to the price, now just add to it. Look around for good deals as these lenses go so cheap. I have and 2 fd lenses; 50mm F1.4 and 28mm F2.8 (Got them for $40 total :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)) and they are both really good lenses. I plan to build a set of FD primes.
