DescriptionZoom lenses from a car boot sale (5114334225).jpg |
I spotted these 2 lenses in a shoe box at a carboot sale about 3 weeks ago,They looked a bit scruffy but I went back to the stand just before we left.The woman on the stall said they had come from a house clearance and she had tried to sell them for the past six weeks.I asked how much? and the answer was £15!.They would,nt zoom and the focus ring would,nt turn but I figured that the lens hoods and one UV filter would be worth that much so I handed over the dosh as my wife stood behind me shaking her head in despair .. So I set about stripping them down armed with an instruction manual from a gentleman in Scotland.I cleaned all the glass elements and freed everything off thinking if they dont go back together I have nothing to lose...... So the moment of truth came today when I tried them and Lo and behold they work...the zoom and focus rings are smooth again...Quite chuffed really. They are a 70-210 F4 one touch zoom and a 35-105 one touch zoom and according to the date codes are both 23 years old.These probably belonged to someone who has passed away and the house has been cleared without any consideration for the value of things.I would hope that whoever they belonged to will be glad they have found a good home as it it obvious they have been looked after as they still have the gold stickers attached. Marvellous what can be done with a set of jewellers screwdrivers ,WD40 and a bit of TLC..! |
