CLOSE DOWN SALE!
Yes it has arrived - my health will no longer allow me to continue - my legs are gone. And no-one wanted to take it over as a going concern. So as many of you already know, I have to clear everything out - stock, accumulated accessories, furniture, the lot. Even the cabinets - very cheap if you take them away! :) I have to clear the room during September. Last week in September it all goes to the local auction house. It's a bit emotional as I spent years building it all up and now I have to tear it down - but then I haven't had a holiday in ten years so....
If you're in Melbourne or close enough, come on down and grab bargains. Literally boxfuls of stuff for a few dollars. The good stuff will go on ebay at bargain start prices so why not get in ahead and make me an offer for what is left? Or for the box full of lens adapters or lens caps and filters for a fraction of cost. Fittings may end up on Facebook or Gumtree. If you are prepared to help out a bit, all assistance much appreciated and I'll happily trade your time for 'stuff''
This website will be maintained (better than it is now) as a contact point and a channel for stuff I want to sell online - so keep it bookmarked! For one thing I'm asking myself if I need a large personal collection - it won't fit in the box with me and my family has less than zero interest. So I will be listing some rare and weird stuff here soon.
Equally I'm no longer buying stock in unless it's high end stuff I can sell it on later after a test and service and at a profit once I've moved completely online. So a Leica, OM-1 or a good Nikon, yes, but older cheap stuff, no matter how good, nope. Sorry. Equally I have a head full of knowledge so I will answer questions. And my books on the SLR, TLR and Half Frame are still available print 0on demand from Blurb - search blurb/afildes
A customer comiserated with me the other day - said it was the end of an era, that I was a legend, he'd miss my advice and available bits. Well like all legends and epics and sagas and so on, it comes to an end and passes into history. So come on down and hoover up the remains for a few dollars, or even for free. See you soon!
Outside my business hours you can contact me through the Contact Page on this site, direct by email to soultheft@optusnet.com.au or call/message any time on 04 04 33 00 75.

Ring the bells that still can ring,
Forget your perfect offering,
There is a crack, a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in.
