Notice: I've been having a hard time coming up with prices-- it sometimes gives me a panic attack. I've put a number of items on eBay. I'm getting better though-- If I find completed sale prices on eBay, it helps. Of course I'll consider offers. If you write me I'll let you know when I put items of interest up. Please excuse me if I'm slow responding. I have photographs of most items, though I haven't put all of them online.

Price references: The best is eBay's completed auctions, but Midwest Photo Exchange | Keh | Adorama are also of interest. Vladimir Antonov's Canon FD eBay Price Guide is usfeul, though prices have dropped somewhat since May 2003.

From Adorama's grading system:

• D   = Demo  Demonstration condition almost like new, might show very light use.
• E+ = Excellent +  Very clean
• E   = Excellent  Shows normal wear, might have minor scratches, glass clean.
• E - = Excellent -  Average wear, may have small marks but no brassing
• V   = Very Good  Shows heavier wear, works mechanically fine
• G   = Good  Shows extra heavy use wear, glass might have scratches, usable

Camera bodies & flash

• Canon F-1 (original) Extra focusing screen E (split-image microprism). Flash holder (a shoe that slides over the rewind knob) has some broken plastic, but it's perfectly functional.

• Canon T 9 0  Original box. "The Tank." The body has been modified so film is not rewound all the way into the cartridge. About one inch remains so you can reload film if needs be. Includes original box, strap, manual, and two extra focusing screens: clear and split image. Illustration Sold!
