Canon A-1 Kit with 50mm f/1.4 Lens!
What’s Included:
Canon A-1 Film SLR Body
Canon 50mm 1.4 Lens in FD Mount
Canon Detatchable Grip
Original body cap, both lens caps (non-original)
Features:
Amazing kit for photographers of any experience level, offering amazing versatility, quality, and usability
Fully manual, aperture priority, and shutter priority exposure modes, allowing for rare levels of both control and automation
Built-in light meter, with ISO metering range from 6-12800, allowing for use with any 35mm film currently in production, and for easy pushing & pulling of film stocks
50mm 1.4 lens, allowing for maximum versatility with a standard focal length, along with the fast aperture, perfect for all scenarios and styles of photography
Vintage character in the lens really gives photos the classic quintessential ‘film’ look
Extremely high-quality Japanese design, finishing & build
Uniquely thought-through ergonomic design, centered around functionality with all the available features, such as the dial on the front which changes aperture or shutter speed depending on selected automatic mode
Overall Condition: This kit is in near-perfect condition. Everything is mechanically completely perfect and free of anomalies (including the notorious shutter squeak on the Canon A series cameras). The metering has been tested and is 100% accurate too. The body itself is in perfect condition, with tiny surface scratches and a small ding on the base plate, and a tiny ding on the ISO dial being the only issues. Please see photos for further details. The lens itself is also in near-perfect condition, both cosemetically and functionally. There are two tiny thin pieces of spider-web fungus on one of the lens center-rear elements, though both are negligible when it comes to image quality, and have been killed to prevent any further growth. They’re really not a concern when looking at the usability or results coming from this lens. All other elements, including external ones, are completely perfect and are free of any scratches too.

Leica Leitz Minolta CL Rangefinder Film Camera!
Note - All Leica M-mount lenses will be 15% off when purchased alongside this camera!
Features:
Extremely compact build, comparable to that of early rangefinder point-and-shoots, such as the Minolta 7 series cameras, ideal for small, lightweight setups (only 365 grams!)
0.6x magnification viewfinder, with framelines for 40mm, 50mm, and 90mm lenses, with the full rangefinder being ideal for framing with 35mm lenses
Extremely versatile Leica M lens mount, making this camera compatible with many of the best lenses ever made!
Amazing German design, paired with Japanese build quality, makes this an amazing mechanical camera to handle & use
Shutter speeds from 1/1000th - ½ Seconds, plus bulb, show in the viewfinder to remove the need to check the top plate before shooting
Overall Condition - The camera is in great condition overall. Mechanically, everything works perfectly - all functions are smooth, the rangefinder and viewfinder are clear & bright, and calibrated correctly. The only issue is that the meter works intermittently, and therefore we are selling this as though the meter isn’t functional… All else is perfect regardless. Cosmetically, the camera is in good condition, though with some signs of use. There is some slight paint loss on the corners of the camera, and some light scratching on the rest of the body, though these aren’t dents, so no worries ergonomically. The plastic end on the winding lever also looks slightly strange, though this has no effect whatsoever on the feel of it. Please see photos for further detail :)

Canon L3 Rangefinder Camera!
Overall Condition: This camera is in great condition overall, especially considering its age. Mechanically, everything is perfect, without any issues whatsoever. The finder(s) is completely clear too, which is a rare find on many of these older rangefinders. Cosmetically, the camera is also superb, with the main blemish being a small dent on the top plate (see phots), a slight chip in the back corner, and tiny scratches from usual use. See photos for more detail.

55mm 2.8 Mamiya 645 Sekor-C Lens!
Overall Condition: The lens is in good condition overall. In terms of optics, the external elements are essentially perfect, as are most internal elements. On one of the rear elements, there is a tiny piece of spider-web fungus towards the center of the element, though it shouldn’t affect image quality at all, especially on film. It’s in very decent condition externally too - it has some signs of use, though nothing drastic at all. The focusing movement is slightly inconsistent at times, though otherwise ergonomically perfect!

Rare Nicca 50mm f/2.8 Lens in Leica Thread Mount!
This is a lens manufactured by Nicca just prior to the company being acquired by Yashica. It was initially released to go along with the Nicca 33, as shown in the last photo, which we also have for sale (the lens will be discounted by $100 if purchased alongside the camera).
Features:
Versatile 50mm focal length, ideal for all styles of photography
Tessar 4-element optical formula, giving it a classic, ‘vintage’ rendering style, while maintaining sharpness
Strong Japanese build quality, designed to directly compete with the Leica lenses of the time
Leica thread (a.k.a. LTM, L39) mount, allowing for use on all LTM cameras, easy, rangefinder coupled, adaptation to Leica M mount cameras, and compatibility with modern mirrorless cameras.
Focus scale with markings for both standard and infrared photography, which is uncommon for most Leica-compatible lenses
Condition: Overall, this lens is in exceptionally good condition, especially given its age. Externally, it has a small amount of standard wear from use, as shown in photos. The glass itself is also in really good condition, aside from a very thin layer of ‘spider-web’ fungus on one of the front elements, though it would have very little to no effect on the image output of this lens, especially when used on film. We’ve ‘killed’ the fungus using UV light, too.

Olympus 50mm 1.4 G. Zuiko in OM Mount!
Overall Condition: This lens is in near-perfect condition overall. Optically, there are absolutely no issues at all.
wATCHES
Omega 34mm 9 carat Gold wristwatch from 1927!
This is a classy example of a 20’s dress watch, made of solid 9ct gold. Notably, it’s engraved A.M.D 27-4-27 (i.e 27th of April, 1927). These watches are nearly impossible to find, especially in condition as good as this. The watch is keeping extremely accurate time given its age, and it’s just come back from a service via Five:45. Inside is a manual wind calibre, stamped 6299906. According to most sources (though finding exact information on these early calibres is extremely difficult), and from what we’ve observed, has a power reserve of around 40 hours.
In terms of design, the watch has a 34mm case size (excl. the crown), with a classic black & white dial, with a seconds subdial towards 6 o’clock, with second markers every 10 seconds. The dial itself is in great condition, with a slight patina which is inherent with a watch of this age, and has a very thin hairline crack ‘spidering’ out of the ‘2’ on the dial, which isn’t clear unless looked at closely. The hands are arguably what really give this watch its persona, with a delicate, classic dark blue design. The crystal is free of scratches (likely a replacement), and has a domed design, adding to the watch’s generally rounded profile.
Case Serial Number - 6525588 (indicates 1926-1927 manufacture)
Movement Serial Number - 6299906 (Indicates 1925-1927 manufacture)

Omega Art Deco Rectangle — cal. T17, Circa 1930s
A beautifully proportioned Art Deco dress watch from Omega, wearing its age with quiet confidence.
The case is a slender rectangle — 31 × 22mm, roughly 8mm through the crystal — a similar profile to the ‘small’ modern Cartier Tanks, giving it a perfect unisex, relatively understated presence, while holding vintage charm. Surfaces are unpolished, retaining their original finishing and a soft, honest patina from a life of genuine wear.
Inside sits Omega's calibre T17, a robust, 15 jewel, manual-wind movement well regarded for its reliability, found in all square watches from Omega during this era of watchmaking. This example is keeping very good time for its age, and still holds roughly its original 60-hour power reserve. Please note - As with all vintage watches, this one is much more accurate when kept on its side, rather than back, while not being worn.
Overall Condition — The watch is in notably strong condition overall, with the main wear being light scratches on the crystal, as would be expected on an unpolished watch of this age. The case itself has a light patina from casual use, as shown in the photos. The watch is accurate, well within +/-40 seconds per day, and holds power for close to 60 hrs after being fully wound.
