Got back from Camera Show unscathed

Submitted by keithloh on Sun, 2009-11-08 21:48.

I got back from a quick couple rounds through the Croatian Cultural Center camera show and came out relatively unscathed. I said I would only spend what was in my wallet and spent half of that to get:

-- Asahi Spotmatic with leatherette cover and 55mm Takumar f/1.8 lens. Body in about C+ condition (couldn't test light meter since it had no battery)* but otherwise seemed to work and the 55mm in great shape (B) -- $20

-- Bushnell / Bausch & Lomb 135mm f/2.8 in M42 mount in stellar condition (A-) for $5.

Update

*After researching more about the Spotmatic it seems that I and the dealer just didn't know how to make the light meter work. The Spotmatic has a switch on one side of the lens marked SW that starts the spotmeter working. There is some needle movement but I haven't yet determined if the CDS meter is accurate. I'll shoot a roll today metered by the camera and have it developed to see.
