Well, its that time of the year again. I might have to shift houses in a couple of months and really need to be rid of some of the gear that has accumulated over the year so here's some of it up for sale.

1. Lowepro Rover AWII backpack. This is one of those with a top compartment for your lunch and a bottom bit for gear. A great back for recce missions as it fits a 100-400, 1dmk2 and a couple of TC and a wideangle. Bag is in used condition, with some wear on the base and some stains which i can easily wash off. Its by no means mint and but has the advantage of being well worn in. One of the zipper tabs (for the side pocket) has been clipped but still works fine. I think my price reflects the condition as this normally retails for £85. My price £40.

2. Minolta Scan Dual III film scanner. This USB2 scanner dates back a few years now but still offers one of the best price performance ratio. For those that still shoot 35mm film or with old film stock (showing my age now), this would be a handy accessory to have. Its main selling point is its size really as it hardly takes up any space on the desk. Comes with the film strip holder and a mounted slide holder as per the standard. The latest software is available on the old minolta site and i'm happy to download and burn a copy to CD. Alternatively, try out Vuescan (which i use) or silverfast. Ebay has these going for up to £150 without shipping. Take mine for £120 and i'll add shipping or u can collect in london and get a free pint. I'm only selling cos i've scanned all my 35mm and have bought a v750 for my med and large format stuff.

More stuff to come as i start tidying up my place. I'm located in S.London and would welcome a local meetup anywhere within london with a free pint for the buyer.
