Rolleiflex
Hello All!
Not too familiar with medium format cameras, but thinking of bidding on this one as it's the best bid price I have come across. Are there some things in particular to watch for with the T series cameras? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MESE%3AIT&rd=1 Thanks in advance! AW |

AW Why would you think of bidding on this, since you are selling it? Is this some kind of silly marketing effort? As far as the description goes, the lenses could be completely hazy and the camera worthless. Or it could be just fine. |

And exactly what is he trying to hide with that stupid, not-particularly-well focused close-up and no other pictures? Norm |

Notice also he is charging $44 to ship the camera. That is probably a violation of ebay policy. $10 is MORE than enough to ship it, "professionally packed" and insured, anywhere in North America. -- Michael | "You're going to need a bigger boat." |

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I don't see anything terribly wrong with this listing. Perhaps the shipping is on the high side, but compared to other listings I've seen it's not outrageous, and as the shipping cost is there on the page, it's up to you whether you bid or not. As for the photos, there's a link to a page with tons of them, also the photo on the item page has slideshow buttons. Perhaps he needed to have the camera 'full frontal' as the first pic, but again hardly a flogging offence. His 'crime' it seems was his daft posting to this ng. Then again I almost feel sorry for the guy as a person with a bit more nous would have got a mate to post something. Euan -- *from* Euan Bayliss, Bradford, West Yorkshire |
