The AX-1 isn't in the best of health, the light seals have all turned to goo and the shutter will only fire when using the self timer. Will make a very nice ornament though.
That's nice bit of 500 kit there. Do track down a proper strap if you haven't got one, as they clip in really nicely and make the camera really easy to carry.
Oh, and do check for light leaks and uneven spacing on your two backs before getting too into it. You might find one of them is a little temperamental, and since you've got two by the looks of it, making sure you know which one has the problem can be a challenge. They do seem to be still repairable.
Nice looking C220 there! The blue dot lenses are considered to be better than the older gen, not sure how much truth there is in it, but you've got one of those so that's good.
Thanks, this was a cheapie from ffordes. Everything seems to work. I thought there was a bit of haze in the lens but fortunately you can easily unscrew the front and rear lens groups and clean the glass facing the shutter. I did that and the lens looks nice and clear now.
The weight is not as bad as I was expecting, but it is one big beast. I still want a Rolleiflex one day but the price for these seems to be going crazy.

Just bought a canon 28mm Ef lens for my eos1-d looked through lots of second hand lens sites non came with a lens hood, don’t canon supply them? Or do canon users not use them, I suppose that’s better than walking around with them on backwards.

From memory, the cheaper lenses don't ship with a hood. L lenses that I have owned always had one.Just bought a canon 28mm Ef lens for my eos1-d looked through lots of second hand lens sites non came with a lens hood, don’t canon supply them?
