Vinage Canon and Canon-compatible Equipment for sale

[Vagabond]

Vintage Canon Photographic Equipment for sale.  Cameras well used but many lenses and attachments lightly used. Some unused items still in original packaging.  Almost all items still have the original instructional leaflet/booklet . The whole provides a comprehensive set capable of coping with most land-based photographic situations

The equipment comprises :-

Two cameras,  an  A1 35mm SLR camera body and an AE1 35mm camera body, both fitted with FD 24mm f2.8  lenses.   Nine additional Lenses :-

1.      24mm FD lens  f 2

2.      50mm FD lens f 1:2

3.      50mm FD lens f 1.8

4.      35mm FD Tilt and Shift lens f 2.8 (for architectural shots etc)

5.      28mm-55mm FD Zoom lens f 3.5 – f 5

6.      70-210mm FD Zoom lens f 4

7.      200mm Macro FD  lens f4

8.      300mm FD telephoto lens f4

9.      500 mm Tamron Mirror lens (this last is Canon FD compatible – all the others are Canon FD lenses). Thus, including those on the cameras, there are eleven lenses in all.

There are also many attachments  Four FD extenders  FD 1.4 x –A.  2x-A.  2x-B and  CL 2x,   three extension tubes FD 15, FD 25 and FD 50, a number of lens-hoods, (some built-in, some interchangeable).  Plus over a dozen Hoya filters and adaptation rings. Red, yellow, cooling, warming and polarising filters – various sizes appropriate to the above lenses.

In addition to that,  the following (all Canon) :-  Two A2 Power winders,  Two x High Capacity battery Packs BP 729, Auto Flash Speedlite 199A.  Wireless controller LC1 Transmitter and receiver cable and remote switch (for wildlife photography etc) ,  Canon Autobellows ,   Slide duplicator 35-52R. and for those into photomicrography, Canon Micro  Unit F (converts a microscope to Canon system)

Also a Canon EX2 Hi 8mm video camcorder with AE1 35mm camera body with 200mm lens CL 8-120mm 1:1.4 – 2.1,  stereo zoom microphone plus  multi Battery Charger MC100 and assorted Canon rechargeable batteries.

Obviously, that assemblage cost a lot. Equally obviously, it is obsolete in the digital age. However it may constitute a bargain for anyone determined to continue with vintage/roll film traditions.  So before donating the collection to a museum of photography it seems worth asking if anyone would make a sensible offer for the lot.  I have no interest in disposing of them piecemeal on e-bay – at age 87 life is too short to fiddle about with single offers, writing descriptions, photos, postage and packing etc. although it might be a business opportunity for someone willing to do just that.  Send me offers by private message.

A great pity that my camera is a Nikon.
