Came across this the other day while looking for a cherry FTb that I scored on fleabay for $6.50 CDN:

Lots of good info there although it`s a bit slow to download.
Apologies if this is a repost,

Actually shipping was zero dollars: the seller was local and when I contacted him, turned out that his office was 2 minutes walking distance from my shop. The tragic thing about the whole deal was that he was selling the FTb on behalf of his late father-in-law: he told me that over the course of the years the old boy had accumulated a set of 11 diferent FD lenses(including a fisheye, which I`ve always wanted to try) and they went, all told, for a total of $200 CDN.
I think I coulda` risked $250 on that one,... |
