Strange, I've just seen at Cash Converters a SP1000 with 50/2 for AU$45. Meter worked fine, condition would have to be described as very good. I didn't buy it because I've just sold my Spotmatic gear. They seem to sell any manual camera with a name brand for about $150. All of the Zenits etc end up being $45 Now here's a bargain I picked up last week. Olympus OM1n with Sigma 28-70 lens with "2x converter". The bargain was the "2x converter" which was in a tattered Tamron 24mm lens case. The so called 2x converter (I was expecting a Haminex) was actually a Zuiko 16mm/f3.5 full frame Fisheye. 180 degree view across the diagonal.!! I've played with it a bit but it's not really my thing, so I think I'll sell or trade. If anyone's is interested, I'd be happy to trade for a reaonable used MF or TLR, perhaps contact me off list.
