Lot 504: A Trio of Vintage Photographic Equipment including Hanimex and 180mm Telephoto Lenses
This lot comprises three pieces of vintage photographic equipment. The first item is a large telephoto lens with a matte black finish, featuring the inscription F=180mm 1:3.5 on the integrated lens hood and marked MADE IN JAPAN on the rear barrel. The lens is constructed with a textured focus ring and a thin blue decorative band. It is accompanied by a black leather-effect cylindrical hard case with red felt lining and a matching circular leather pouch. The second item is a Hanimex telephoto lens, marked MADE IN JAPAN, featuring a distance scale in yellow for feet and white for metres. This lens is housed in its original Hanimex-branded cardboard box. The third item is a vintage movie camera, likely 8mm or Super 8 format, featuring a black body with an integrated pistol-style grip and a silver-toned winding lever on the side. The items bear auction labels for Liskeard Auction Rooms, marked as Lot 504.
Condition report:
The 180mm lens shows minor surface wear to the exterior barrel consistent with age; the glass appears clear upon external inspection but has not been checked for internal fungus or haze. The Hanimex lens box shows significant wear, scuffing, and tape repairs. The movie camera exhibits signs of age and dust accumulation. All items are sold as-is; mechanical functions, aperture blades, and internal optics have not been professionally tested for precision.
