Okay folks, time to get over this nasty March weather and think about auctions and cameras and stuff! Our spring auction this year is on April 30th BUT at a slightly later time (so you can catch an extra snooze, wife and kids permitting &#8230;).<\/p>\n<p>I will add more details in April (see right hand side bar for now). Hint: send <a href=\"1956canada@gmail.com\">Clint<\/a> photos of what you are thinking of including. Those accepted will go up as part of our slide show.<\/p>\n<p>While I haven&#8217;t picked up a lot for some time, I have sold cameras, books, lenses, etc. at our auctions. For example, the photo at left was take with a Leitz 73mm Hektor lens at f\/1.9. The lens went to a new home in the PHSC spring 2012 auction. This lens is significant as it was the first fast lens ever offered by Leitz for the Leica. First offered in 1931, some 7,225 were sold, almost all before WW2 ended. I sharpened the photo and made it slightly more contrasty as the lens is a bit soft wide open and has lower contrast as it is uncoated.<\/p>\n<p>Keep your eye on these posts to see more as we approach April 30th!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toronto.
