This collection spans 15 years and includes film cameras, lenses, lens caps, lens converters, cases, straps, manuals, small parts, parts cameras, original retail boxes, accessories of most types, and many more items too numerous to list.
This is all brand name electronic equipment from CANON, FUJICA, KONICA, MINOLTA, OLYMPUS, PENTAX, YASHICA, etc.
There are many more bodies than lenses. I have no actual count of either but I am getting rid of everything. There are well over 100 camera bodies---most in very clean condition but not all fully functional. Many can be used "as-is", but may not perform in top form. My eBay business was to have them refurbished and then sell them on eBay. These film cameras are getting more difficult to find and are an interesting piece of 20th century photography.
This collection is well-organized and categorized. Most items have a testing note to describe condition and functionality. Most items are in very good vintage condition, There are some items that are in lesser condition, but in most cases the component was used as a sample or merged with a camera or lens of similar wear.
I used to buy at local auctions, eBay, Craigslist, Auction Ohio, and other venues. I would find really clean vintage cameras and send them off to be refurbished. I would then sell the cameras with original lenses and accessories. The man who did my body refurbishment is still in business and I will reveal the contact information for him to the new owner.
Since it is impossible to appreciate what all is being sold I am going to have to make appointments for interested buyers to preview the collection.
Email with questions. I will do my best to answer. Specific cameras or lenses or quantities thereof is largely not known.
I live just outside of West Jefferson which is off of route 40 between Columbus and London.
Message me through Craigslist and I will give you phone and address so we could set up a phone call and potential appointment to view the collection.
Cash only; no trades
This would make a nice part-time online business for the industrious new owner.
