Saw this, can't be there myself but might be worth a look!

Looks like there could be some good gear there alright!

Stock must be seen. Will be going for Auction on Saturday 27th September @ 11am. Strictly € 500 Cash to get a bidding number {refundable if no purchases is made}. You must have a bidding number to bid.

What if you purchase something for €50? I hope you get your €450 back?

If there are more people together, getting a bidding number would be less painful. And I haven't found where is the location of the auction. I am willing to go for a trip...

Items like this dont come along very often.

Why not go and view what they have to see if anything worth it before going to auction itself and stumping €500??

ThOnda · 24-09-2008 7:41am

It's almost at my backyard! I'll go to see the list of items in the morning. Even knowing that I wouldn't buy a thing...

conair01 · 24-09-2008 9:38am

did anybody get anything in the auction??

whyulittle · 24-09-2008 9:40am

It's on this Saturday? Couldn't see any mention of camera equipment in the PDF.

conair01 · 24-09-2008 9:46am

misread the notice!!

From the PDF:

Selection of Camera’s c/w accessories & Hard Cases {Canon, Sinar & Sigma}

It doesn't mention the actual models of course, but there is a camera lurking in this image which could be one of the Sinars.

Fajitas! · 24-09-2008 10:04am

Yep, that's what I was thinking, there's another LF rail system in the box from what I can see, and what looks like a Canon 1 series body in the background on the left.

Looks more like a bunch of Fuji GX's, older models ....

They're a range of MF SLRs with front standards that are linked to the body with bellows, focused on rails, and have full movements. They're nice. Also extraordinarily delicate, heavy, and expensive.

smelltheglove · 24-09-2008 10:34am

Guys I have the full list, my account gave me details and I was told to keep themk shhh shhh as otherwise we might not got details again but since they have an ad up if anyone wants the list pm me your email and I will pass it on.

smelltheglove · 24-09-2008 11:08am

Attachment sent;)

PaulieC · 24-09-2008 11:54am

erm, if I went and bid for the 5D w/24-70, no one here would bid against me, right?

Covey · 24-09-2008 11:56am

Wrong,

But I've set my maximum. Much lower than knowing where the camera came from though. I'd be factoring in a Canon check/calibration to the price.

Pity they don't say what the "various lenses" are though

Fajitas! · 24-09-2008 12:31pm

I'm interested in seeing the lights, the GX 680 III, the Hasselblad lenses and the Sinar...

If the Lightphase was going for VERY good value, I'd consider it, but only if it was going on it's own, I've no need for another 500C/M body.

Actually, I'd be looking at very good value on all of the above - I'm sure they've all gotten their fair share of use!

minikin · 24-09-2008 4:05pm

enough of the gear porn lads... I take it this means nortons is kaput and a few photographers have lost their jobs. Sad news.

Mylow · 24-09-2008 4:13pm

Don't forget commission plus VAT.

Wilsons in Portadown never has anything like this.

Edit:

Just looked at Nortons website, they had 9 people working for them. Some great shoots on there website. I feel sorry for those 9 staff. Hopefully they get sorted out with work etc.

challengemaster · 24-09-2008 4:18pm

hmm.. carrying Apple displays from Dublin to Westmeath..

smelltheglove · 24-09-2008 9:22pm

Ideo · 24-09-2008 9:41pm

Fajitas! · 27-09-2008 9:17am
