Academy 8mm Video Editor $25

This 8mm video editor has been rarely used if at all.
I believe it is standard 8 format only.
A useful tool if you are into old film movies and analogue photography.

Gene Pitney 12inch LP Vinyl records for sale.A collection of 5.


Back in the 1960's I was a big Gene Pitney fan.
I saw him perform in concert at Adelaide's Centennial Hall when at the height of his fame.
Also on the bill was Dusty Springfield, Brian Poole and the Tremeloes, and Eden Kane.
You got your money's worth back then.
Not long after that I saw the Beatles perform in the same venue.
I saw Gene Pitney two more times in the nineties in Adelaide also.
He had brilliant stage presence and his voice live was as good as on his records.
He died while on tour overseas.
I have collected much music of the era over the years and am now putting up for sale 5 of his 12" LPs from his catalogue.
I will be advertising this item on on Gumtree also.
These can be collected from Plympton Park.
In all these ads I will notify when they have been sold.
Five albums for $15 for the lot. 








To get a taste of his music if you are not familiar with it here is a youtube link.
This is pretty much the same as the last concert I saw.

Tamron Manual Focus 70-210mm F4-5.6 Zoom Lens. Pentax Mount

This lens is compact and lightweight.
Has a useful zoom range and can be used on film and digital cameras.
It is in the Adaptall series of Tamron Lenses and has a Pk mount suitable for Pentax and Rikoh lenses and maybe some other cameras.
It come with a lenshood.
Reviews on the internet vary.
Some dismiss and some love it.
It depends on your need and price you wish to pay.
Some people are asking high prices for these online which in my opinion are not that realistic.
I have attached some images taken with it on my Pentax Kr digital slr.
I am asking $50 for this.
Email me or ring me on 041786746.

For many years I have trained people in Photography and also Wedding Photography.
I still train people from time to time in Photography and Wedding Photography.
A lot of my experience and training is already on my Photography  Training Blog but there is really nothing like meeting with your trainer in person and being able to ask questions as you go and practice your techniques under guidance.
If you live in Adelaide and not too far away please contact me for more info.
I can train you 1:1 or in small groups or even as a duo with your partner.

I can be wedding specific or all the other types of photography.

I can train you on digital cameras or film if you are discovering film for the first time.
