I first heard about this legendary lens in 2006, just as I was really getting serious doing photography. I was 20 and it was way out of my price range, and why would anyone want an old manual focus lens? The allure of this special lens and the way it renders the light the passes through it is just something special. I’ve kept my eye on the pricing of this lens since then. I’ve read countless blogs about how it is so special...I just couldn’t ever convince myself to pull the trigger and buy one.
Then one day this July I was reading a blog post about this lens, one I’d read 100 times before and I thought I’d check the prices. On eBay they were all going for what I was expecting and I thought to myself I’d check KEH Camera a very reputable used gear seller. To my surprise, they had one in stock. It was about ¼ less than what they were going for on eBay and KEH rated this one as “bargain” quality.
If you’ve ever bought from KEH you’ll know that their ratings are VERY generous. I thought I’d take the chance and if it was in poorer condition I’d send it back with their generous return policy. The lens arrived, glass in perfect condition, and a single scrape on the metal lens barrel, other than that it was in perfect condition.
So I kept it, and have just fallen in love with this lens. I’m so glad it lived up to all the hype and I love the images I’ve taken with it so far. I look forward to the ones I haven’t taken yet. This is one of those lenses I’ll never sell or part with.

eBay Inc. is an American multinational internet consumer-to-consumer corporation, headquartered in San Jose, California. It was founded in 1995, and became a notable success story of the dot-com bubble; it is now a multi-billion dollar business with operations localized in over thirty countries.
I got this for about $26. I was originally planning to buy a 5 lb lot that included various old Bionicle parts (01-03) until the price rose way too high. And then eBay suggested me these.
These were actually two different listings. The one at the top I believe was "LOT 1" and the other "LOT 4." I've always wanted Hydraxon and Gadunka and I knew that if I didn't take action these two would be gone by the next day, so I bought it.
Of course, the sets were missing some pieces. The only ones that I was able to complete 100% with some spare parts from previous lots were Hydraxon and Gadunka. The Vahki are only missing the disks, Pridak is missing the annoying Squid Launcher, and I repaired Hewkii to the point that only the red missiles are missing (though I already have one so it doesn't matter).
And yes, I was too lazy to take pictures of them repaired, so I used the listing picture.
LOT 2 and LOT 3 are still on sell if you're interested :)

Got Prince Eric from ebay for only 3 euros and secret spells kayla for 3 euros too, but i will bought her ;)
This dress looked gorge on eBay China. Got it, and it's a large, a small! C'Mon, China, we're big, but not THAT big! Anyway, it's cute still, but the hem needs major fixing. If a curvier gal inherits it and fixes it, it might be redeemable.
Pros: nice color, light.
Cons: totally mis-shapen, needs tailoring.
Sentimentality factor: none.
What can you get for £25 these days?
Nicely broken in canvas bag, 3 old flash guns to use as slaves, extension tube set, Nikon F70 35mm camera, Nikon 35-70mm, Sigma 50-200mm and Sigma 70-300mm macro lens.
I collect old Nikons and always look out for ones that have a usable lens attached.
Biggest bargain, Sigma 70-300mm for a whopping £3.97

Some of you may have noticed that, unfortunately, owing to the fact that a certain person who sells truck photos on eBay commercially has been lifting my images from this album and selling them I have had to remove 2300 photos that didn't have a watermark. I have now run around 1700 through Lightroom and added a watermark with the intention of bulk uploading them again. Rather than watermark the existing (hidden) files in Flickr one at a time it will be easier to do it this way. I definitely won’t be adding individual tags with the make and model of each vehicle I will just add generic transport tags. Each photo is named after the vehicle and reg in any case. For anyone new to these images there is a chapter and verse explanation below. It is staggering how many times I get asked questions that a quick scan would answer or just as likely I can’t possibly answer – I didn’t take them, but, just to clarify-I do own the copyright- and I do pursue copyright theft.
This is a collection of scanned prints from a collection of photographs taken by the late Jim Taylor A number of years ago I was offered a large number of photographs taken by Jim Taylor, a transport photographer based in Huddersfield. The collection, 30,000 prints, 20,000 negatives – and copyright! – had been offered to me and one of the national transport magazines previously by a friend of Jim's, on behalf of Jim's wife. I initially turned them down, already having over 30,000 of my own prints filed away and taking space up. Several months later the prints were still for sale – at what was, apparently, the going rate. It was a lot of money and I deliberated for quite a while before deciding to buy them. I did however buy them directly from Jim’s wife and she delivered them personally – just to quash the occasional rumour from people who can’t mind their own business. Although some prints were sold elsewhere, particularly the popular big fleet stuff, I should have the negatives, unfortunately they came to me in a random mix, 1200 to a box, without any sort of indexing and as such it would be impossible to match negatives to prints, or, to even find a print of any particular vehicle. I have only ever looked at a handful myself unless I am scanning them. The prints are generally in excellent condition and I initially stored them in a bedroom without ever looking at any of them. In 2006 I built an extension and they had to be well protected from dust and moved a few times. Ultimately my former 6x7 box room office has become their (and my own work’s) permanent home.
I hope to avoid posting images that Jim had not taken his self, however should I inadvertently infringe another photographers copyright, please inform me by email and I will resolve the issue immediately. There are copyright issues with some of the photographs that were sold to me. A Flickr member from Scotland drew my attention to some of his own work amongst the first uploads of Jim’s work. I had a quick look through some of the 30 boxes of prints and decided that for the time being the safest thing for me to do was withdraw the majority of the earlier uploaded scans and deal with the problem – which I did. whilst the vast majority of the prints are Jims, there is a problem defining copyright of some of them, this is something that the seller did not make clear at the time. I am reasonably confident that I have since been successful in identifying Jims own work. His early work consists of many thousands of lustre 6x4 prints which are difficult to scan well, later work is almost entirely 7x5 glossy, much easier to scan. Not all of the prints are pin sharp but I can generally print successfully to A4 from a scan.
You may notice photographs being duplicated in this Album, unfortunately there are multiple copies of many prints (for swapping) and as I have to have a system of archiving and backing up I can only guess - using memory - if I have scanned a print before. The bigger fleets have so many similar vehicles and registration numbers that it is impossible to get it right all of the time. It is easier to scan and process a print than check my files - on three different PC’s - for duplicates. There has not been, nor will there ever be, any intention to knowingly breach anyone else's copyright. I have presented the Jim Taylor collection as exactly that-The Jim Taylor Collection- his work not mine, my own work is quite obviously mine.
Unfortunately, many truck spotters have swapped and traded their work without copyright marking it as theirs. These people never anticipated the ease with which images would be shared online in the future. I would guess that having swapped and traded photos for many years that it is almost impossible to control their future use. Anyone wanting to control the future use of their work would have been well advised to copyright mark their work (as many did) and would be well advised not to post them on photo sharing sites without a watermark as the whole point of these sites is to share the image, it is very easy for those that wish, to lift any image, despite security settings, indeed, Flickr itself, warns you that this is the case. It was this abuse and theft of my material that led me to watermark all of my later uploads. I may yet withdraw non-watermarked photos, I haven’t decided yet. (I did in the end)
To anyone reading the above it will be quite obvious that I can’t provide information regarding specific photos or potential future uploads – I didn’t take them! There are many vehicles that were well known to me as Jim only lived down the road from me (although I didn’t know him), however scanning, titling, tagging and uploading is laborious and time consuming enough, I do however provide a fair amount of information with my own transport (and other) photos. I am aware that there are requests from other Flickr users that are unanswered, I stumble across them months or years after they were posted, this isn’t deliberate. Some weekends one or two “enthusiasts” can add many hundreds of photos as favourites, this pushes requests that are in the comments section ten or twenty pages out of sight and I miss them. I also have notifications switched off, I receive around 50 emails a day through work and I don’t want even more from Flickr. Other requests, like many other things, I just plain forget – no excuses! Uploads of Jim’s photos will be infrequent as it is a boring pastime and I would much rather work on my own output.
Store: marimone
Item(s) purchased: MWL52-Royal Ivory wig
Shipping: Method: Wig in full length (not folded) in wig net, transparent plastic box, cardboard shipper. Price: decent, $6 for tracked shipping. Speed: decent, 9 days So Kor-Nor.
Communication: automatically generated eBay messages
Other: n/a
Sum:
Very happy, absolutely lovely wig with a close to perfect fit (elastic cap, just covers the eye levers but can also be worn with the rim over the levers), flawless transaction. Even though the wig isn't really cheap, the total including shipping makes for a good price (shopping from online stores most often means heavy international shipping fees).
I've been slapped with an "Item Not Received" Case on Ebay for 3 of my Superstar Barbie dolls.
UK Buyer. Instead of messaging me first to ask if there was any sort of delay, they immediately open up a case which has now taken my Paypal account balance to -387.00 Until the case is closed, which will most likely close in favor of the buyer as they always do.
So now I have auctions ending this Friday that - if I don't make over the amount this has put me under, I'm not going to be left with anything to even SHIP the items to their buyers!!
The whole reason I have listed my current batch of dolls is to raise funds to cover a surgery my cat is going to need!! Now I am set back on that too!!
Now I understand reimbursing the buyer their money if they didn't get their dolls. But why the fuck should I have to reimburse Ebay!? Why should I be out both the money AND The dolls that I spent HOURS preparing for sale!!
I've bought a lot of cameras on eBay but this is the first time I've bought eBay cameras. I got a special deal on two of them.
One shoulder dress : Asos, size 22
purple wedge : ebay, size 40 (7 UK).. for dirt cheap
tagada strawberry necklace : ebay
so i found this cell phone at work.
it was likely dropped by an audience member seeing a show. the battery was dead, so i turned it in, and it sat in the box office for 2 months... its a nice cell phone, and i suspect that the person either had insurance, or was rich enough that they just got a new one.. so it was given to me to do whatever i wanted with it. i figured, ebay right?
UGH. for the 3rd time in a row, the phone has sold to an ebay scammer. essentially what happens is the auction closes, and then i get a series of emails in broken english explaining that they wish to ship the phone to Nigeria, and will include an extra $100, then i get a fake email from paypal saying the funds have been transferred and once i ship the phone and give them a tracking number, paypal will release the money... obviously bullshit... but now for the 3rd time, the same scam. its getting really frustrating, esp since it costs me money to list things on ebay.
this is also why, i suspect, my debit card was canceled by my bank last week. i just want to sell this damn phone... i need the money, and im selling it for literally half price.
