An excellent condition large size used heavy duty aluminum hard case. Case has reinforced corners and includes a key lock. Internal dimensions are approximately 18" x 13" x 6". There are three levels of foam. One piece is attached to the top cover and another piece is attached to the bottom of the case. Both of these attached foam pieces are in good condition. There is a three inch thick piece of foam that a previous owner cut out for a camera and lenses which could be easily replaced. Probably the easiest way would be to use a suitably sized piece of pick and pluck type foam.
I am asking $25.00 for the case and $20.00 shipping.

Except he didn't. He said the correct term is "constant minimum aperture" He should have said constant maximum aperture.

If it's a Canon EF and in good condition it's worth some money. More than the newer AE-1 or A-1.
You can use those lenses on new DSLR or especially the mirrorless with an adapter. Unless he got a lot of lenses I don't think it's worth it.

The lenses have to be FL or FD since EF didn't come out until 1986.

I am sorry but I am not impressed. First, this is not a test shot; it is a snapshot. If you want to know why, I will say so. Second, the picture is not at all sharp. Do not get me wrong. I am not complusive about sharpness but it not good enough for me to keep this lens. But if you like the lens, then keep it.
I beg to differ. At the point of focus the image is quite sharp. Looking at the EXIF I see it was shot a f:5, so closing down the aperture a little would increase the overall sharpness.

Photoshop CC Bridge now has pages and pages of image and camera data, including a folder for EXIF. However, I cannot find the camera shutter release count or any other label that may be masquerading as such. ???
What camera do you have, that is the key. Canon for instance does not include Shutter Count in it's EXIF Data so you will not find that in any PP Software. You can get SC with some dedicated applications that know how to access it in a Canon.

In spite of the negative comments about "Kit" lenses you will get here from people that routinely try to talk you into lenses that cost as much as your camera, the current "STM" lenses offered with Canon Cameras are well worth considering. The 18-55mm IS STM is a terrific lens as is the 55-250mm IS STM. I suggest you google these lenses and see what people who actually know what they are talking about have to say.
The 55-250mm IS STM lens you mention is highly regarded and while it duplicates some of the range of your current zoom, it is a world better in every respect. It is sharper, has Image Stabilization, manual focus over ride, focuses almost instantly and very quietly.
The 18-55mm IS STM is a great lens. Read what Ken Rockwell has to say about it.

To summarize; The current Canon Kit STM Lenses are so supperior to what you have you would be foolish to disregard them IMHO.

My bad. My Minolta Flash Meter IV takes one AA and I incorrectly assumed this one did too.

I purchased this during an Estate Sale for it was included with the Nikon F4 that I wanted. Looks like new with no signs of use, in the case with the original instructions. I would rate it as VG. There are no batteries in it so I cannot verify that it works but I will accept returns if it doesn't. Similar meters can be found on the Web for about $75 so I'm open to offers over the next week.
Why not put a single AA Battery in it and see if the LCD Display turns on? You may not be able to actually test it fully but you would at least know it powers up.

In my experience requiring a customer to pay for return shipment for warranty repair is a standard condition. The manufacturer then pays shipping charges to return the repaired item. There may be some companies that pay for the shipping, I don't know, but the usual is as I stated.
What is Nikon's or Pentax's or Sony's policy. I would be surprised if they didn't have the same rule. I am sure that somewhere in the manual for your camera it will tell you that you are responsible for shipping charges to them for warranty repair.

Both of my card readers are by Lexmark; I guess I'll need to find another supplier.
Why? Your existing lexar products won't stop working just because the company no longer manufactures them. If it has failed or is missing some (new) capability you want, then find a suitable replacement. Otherwise just continue to use them as you have been doing.

A gel stick will remove things like dust, hairs and lint if used properly, but it is not effective on oil or sticky substances.

I believe that the newer model YN600ex-rt II now has the "optical master" capability.

I, in my ignorance, misled you. I was thinking that your 430 EX II flash had built in RF Receiver and you wanted RF Wireless operation. I looked and saw that the 430 EX II works as an optical slave which will I believe work in conjunction with your camera's built in flash.
I think if you go into the menu and select "Flash Control" and scroll down to "Built in flash settings" and then select "Easy Wireless" you might get it to work

I want to set up my external flash canon speedlite 430x11(wirelessly) to my canon t4i. I go to flash control go down to external flash control and click but I get the error message: this menu cannot be displayed .Incompatible flash or flash"s power is turned off. This speedlite is compatible with the t4i and the flash power is turned on. So what can I do to correct this error. Thanks!!
I am guessing you have not mounted the flash on the camera and turned it on. I am guessing you are thinking you should be able to get the camera to talk to the flash which is off camera. If my guesses are correct you are just a little confused about how "wirelessly" works. You would need a compatible wireless transmitter attached to the camera to communicate to the flash which is off camera.
