Thanks for the info. The bellows set could be adapted to a lot of a different brands with their lenses. The one The lady has looks new and has all the goodies included the instruction manual. I'm not sure that that it was ever used. Do you have any idea of what it originally sold for? Thank again, Streets.

A friend of mine died recently and left all of his cameras and lenses to his wife. She asked me to see if they were worth any thing. I checked ebay for all of the items and got some numbers but I'd like to run them by you as well. Here's the list: All the equipment is "film period" Asahi Pentax. All of the lenses are like new and I could not even see dust inside the glass. All but one lens had a case and sunshade. All had front and rear caps. All are M42 screw mount. Here is the list:

Asashi Auto Bellows/Slide copier, as new in original box with instructions.
50mm f1.4 Super Takumar
50mm f1.4 SMC Takumar
28mm f3.5 Super takumar
135mm f3.5-f4.5 Super Takumar
80-200 f4-f5.6 Super Takumar
Kenko 2X Teleconverter.

You have about $200 there in the 50's and 28mm the 135, should be a prime lens so I am assuming that it is a f/3.5 worth about $30 to $40 depending how good you are at placing an ad on ebay.

Those lenses by the way are quite capable of making excellent images and are collectable but with 50mm f/1.8 lenses available from both Canon and Nikon for not much more than $100 it is hard to get much money for them. Personally I collect Takumars and love them to death, I also sell them from time to time so I am pretty current on pricing. If you are interested in selling them for her in lot send me a PM, I may be able to help her out.
