You Have To See This Collection of Lens Catalogues!!
If this doen't make you drool, you should check with your endocrinologist!! Incredible collection of company catalogues:
That's just one .PDF file. To see the other two, just change the 3 in the URL to 2 or 1.
Unfortunately, they must all be bought together. I'm afraid to ask the price!! :eek: Maybe one of you is brave enough to find out for us? :rolleyes: There should be an e-mail link at Andrew's web site:

Re: You Have To See This Collection of Lens Catalogues!!
I have maybe 4 of the 232 items listed in this Part 3 of the listing. And then I realize that some items have multiple pamphlets/brochures with item #232 itself consisting of approximately 100 trade catalogues! Anybody have a spare $100 or so? :D :rolleyes:

"This collection is being offered as a single unit for $1,500,000.00"

Stark raving mad. Like the guy selling a "collection" of 3 canon SLR bodies and a bunch of lenses on craigslist, quoting prices he paid....in 1979. A great buy for only $2500. Pshhht. For 1.5 Million I think I'd just buy a library. Or some classic artwork...or....

Since I live about 5 miles from the bookstore, maybe I'll have to trot over there someday and check it out. For 1.5 million, they should be there for the next day or two. :)

1.5 mill buys a lot of film too !
Re: You Have To See This Collection of Lens Catalogues!!
The asking price certainly seems high but maybe isn't totally ridiculous considering that the only realistic buyer for a collection like this is an individual or institution with a major collection of photo gear, which means they also have a lot of money. Apart from historical value, there's bound to be a ton of information in all this stuff that isn't available anywhere else.

That's why I DLed the PDF file; to peruse at my leisure and see what might be worth trying to find and buy. Just that file is an interesting read! :)
