Annual PHSNE Auction

[vintageslrs]

We had a wonderful time at the auction today.
It was nice to meet Whitey and Jim McD.
Sherri and I picked up all kinds of filters and lens caps from the dollar tables.

And we enjoyed the heck out of the auction. Sherri came home with a Yashica TL Super and 3 lenses for it. And I came home with 2 Canon T-50 bodies, a Minolta XE-7 and a Nikon EM and a total of 4 lenses for them.
What a great day!!
Thanks to everyone who put it together and to Whitey and Jim for encouraging us to attend.

Can't wait for next years.....

Bob,
Sorry I missed meeting you, but I'm glad you enjoyed the auction.
I ended up with some nice stuff too, like I really need more cameras :rolleyes:
But the baby speed, and a Retina that actually works will be fun.

Sorry I missed meeting you also.
And thanks goes to you also for help with the directions and website.
We truly had a terrific time and wish there were an auction every month!

all the best
Bob

Uh... Barry, Bob? You were introduced - sitting, respectively, behind and in front of me... The "other people from NH"? And I really enjoyed seeing each of you - along with all those nice folks from Cape Cod. Drew couldn't make it but he sent a big contingent in his place.

Had a great time myself. An Ansco 5x7 studio camera with a packard shutter and a (somewhat confused looking) Grundlach Rapid Rectigraphic lens for $50, a Kodak 2A Hawk-Eye for $7, an Olympus XA with flash for $10 and a Minolta 16mm for $5. Good day. The Nikon FM with the 105 Macro got away, as did the Plaubel Makina, but I can't buy everything I want- where the heck would I keep it all?

While there isn't an auction every month, there is a meeting, and the Photographica show twice a year. Good group, PHSNE, and I like to support them any way I can.

Hi Whitey

I thought perhaps they were the folks you introduced to us......but we only really met Barry's wife, as Barry was busy talking to other folks at the time. So, it was all kinda disjointed. But next time we'll actually have a real conversation with them.
Whitey--you had a fine day also, I see! Enjoy all your new goodies.
All the best
Bob

I spent a grand total of $2--my wife was pleased at least;-)

Don't forget the Photographica show this Spring, more on this later.

PHSNE is talking about another auction this Fall, probably around the time of Photographica--stay tuned.

Nice meeting Bob & Sherri-sorry I missed Barry, I was busy

"PHSNE is talking about another auction this Fall"

Well, that would be excellent!!
We will be sure to be there! Can't wait.
