Don't Let The Money Stop you Having Fun....My Latest EB Buys....

Funny how I only mentioned the Nikon E Series Lenses the other day and today was lucky to find this:

Nikon 50mm f1.8 AI

Cost, £28 delivered....I've been looking for an AI one for a while now at the right price, as I mentioned earlier, nothing really wrong mechanically with an E Lens but I'd rather use this, than that....Plus this will add value to my collection and possibly increase slightly in value after a good service, why did I want one....It's for use on the PB-5 Bellows, by some accounts on the www this is a perfect match for the PB-5, especially reversed, we'll see, plus it's considered by some to be Nikons best 50mm ever....

Next up is this hump of metal:

Manfrotto 338 Levelling Base

Come on, a perfect platform for Panoramas or Landscapes all for £13.29 inc delivery, it's a no brainer if you need one, go look at what others want for them, think this is already my bargain of the year, it's meaty, heavy, simple to maintain and easy to operate, what more could one want from their gear.

And for now, the best till last, almost....

Nikon PK-11A Extension Tube

In the UK these are a pain to find cheap, my PK-12 & PK-13 only cost me £12 for both but this bad boy was £30 delivered, whilst one might think that's not really a bargain, trust me, here it is, I'm also happy now as this completes the Set, PK-11A/PK-12/PK-13, all nice and warm inside now, it did take me a few months to find a decent one cheap enough but as I say, a lot, patience has its rewards.

The almost....At the time the only one on EB

£35 through the door....

• This is a fully manual lens
• Focus works
• Iris works
• Zoom works (tiny bit stiff)
• No haze
• No fungus
• No notable dust
• No scratches

Some nice usable gear well within my budgets.
