Using Flickr to Sell

Hello folks,

Here is a reminder that it is against Flickr's guidelines to try to use Flickr to sell anything. Please keep that in mind before you request to post images to the gallery, as they will not be allowed in.

I just recently discovered my parents had a Minolta camera and 3 lenses. By the time I got around to searching it, I sadly had to discover they threw the camera and the Minolta lens away and the only remaining lenses are 2 Vivitars 28 and 135mm 2.8. So I bought an adapter and a 50/1.4 MC PG Rokkor and am so far loving it on my NEX 7.
Thats it.
Peace out

: As a collector, I can appreciate your desire to find good homes for your stuff. However, as a group administrator I have to remind you that trying to use Flickr to sell is against its policies, so please do not post such things anymore in the future.

Incidentally, why don't you just buy some MC/MD to NEX adapters and keep using the lenses?

Hi folks,
My name is Andy, currently living in NW England.
I have a fairly wide collection of cameras & lenses going back into the 70's. I was hoping to use some lenses on an Olympus (E500? - Not sure...) body with an adaptor found at The Rokkor Files. It really is a shame not to use such fine lenses again.
However I have now bought a NEX-6 as my 'pocketable' (just) camera & would prefer to see my lenses go to an appreciative home. The more heavily used ones were regularly cleaned & serviced by Newton Ellis in Liverpool - still harbouring a couple of real Minolta fans behind the counter.
I'm going to keep a few items, since they mean a lot to me, but I'm happy to sell most of the kit - including some rarer items - ALL Minolta: no third-party lenses here!
It's all MC or MD - SR-T bodies & at least 1 X700 with data back and, since I have always been a working photographer they are NOT cosmetically perfect.

My Minolta 85mm f/1.4 G RS for sale :-(

This is my lens. I'm sorry to see it go but I just do not have a need for a portrait lens. This lens is in impeccable condition. The auction is ending today. I'm also shipping internationally despite of what it says on the ad. eBay does not allow me to make this change. Here's a Flickr set with photos using this lens: www.flickr.com/photos/psukid13/sets/72157629550766049/

Hi all, it's been nice to find this group.
That wonderful tele-macro lens is my treasure...you can check my pictures taken with it. I even created a group on flickr but I'm the only member...
I also have the AF100mm f2.8 macro, the AF 35-70 f4, the AF DT 18-70 3.5-5.6 D, and old MC 50mm f1.4 and MD 135 f2.8. Oh!, and the 2x Apo TC. I use all of them on a Sony A580 since my old 5D died...

Cheers.
