Introducing my freshly-purchased new (old: analogue) Chinon CE-4 SLR camera, which I bought off Craigslist an hour and a half ago. The Pentax f/3.5-4.5 28-80mm zoom came with it.
I got a nice surprise when I arrived home: the mount is compatible with my Pentax K-1000 and the gear is completely interchangeable!
I bought it off an art director who kept it in pristine condition, a man who buys photography and has a limited edition framed photograph of John Lennon and Yoko Ono shot by Ivor Sharp hanging in his house (see here, bottom left picture). He didn’t ask much for the camera, considering it was in such good condition. As with most photography hobbyists, he wasn’t looking to make money from the sale, he just wasn’t using the camera and wanted it to go to a good home. I bought batteries for it on the way home and have been playing with it since.
