Hi Everyone,
I have just made my first ebay purchase, and this is the first time that I have ever bought anything from a professional dealer.
Until now all of my collection has come from wandering around second hand bazaars in the FSU.
The item that I have bought is a Fed lateral viewfinder.The price was thirty pounds sterling, which I think was a bargain as I have never seen one of these before, (other than photo's), and so I guess they must be quite rare.
I already have the Fed light meter and self timer. So now I will need to look for the beautiful 100mm Fed viewfinder to add to my collection!!!
Cheers, Jim[:)][:)][:)]
