  • photojumble ?

    From Abandoned_Trolley@21:1/5 to All on Mon Apr 26 16:46:36 2021
    Just wondering if this news group is still alive - bearing in mind that
    the term "alive" may have a different meaning on the Usenet

    Round here in Essex we have a local freecycle / freeBay web site which
    people use to give away various bits and pieces which they think are too
    good for the skip (like the chair I am sitting on right now, and the
    desk I am sittin at)

    Does anybody know of anything similar which deals with old photographic
    items ?

    The word "photojumble" springs to mind, but it seems to have taken on a different meaning

    If by "alive", you mean that some of us are reading it and still
    develop and print our own negatives and prints, then yes?

    Craigslist is pretty popular around these parts of Canada. Kijiji
    is popular further east.

    I haven't the foggiest if either of those are popular where you
    are!

    Most of the users of this newsgroup are now participating in the
    pure-silver mailing list.

    The photographer I bought my NOS EOS 30 and also the speedlite 540
    ES-also NOS-has an employee who gave me a Meopta Axomat II, plus a ton
    of old papers-some from Ex-East Germany-some old trays and a lightmaster
    auto photometer which reads the reflected light for the paper under the enlarger, all for free. yes, this group is still alive-I also bought the original The photographer's handbook from John Hedgecoe, from the USA,
    for 20 euros, and it took 11 days to arrive here! I also ordered some
    40X50 paper from macodirect.de!
