Camera Lenses Part 2

I have no idea if it is worth the thirty being asked but the picture below is of a Konica 135 lens found in Chicago.  I suspect if you know what you are doing you can get lenses and cameras for a steal.  Good luck.  E-mail me if you are interested in learning about where I am finding these things.

Camera Lenses

I often see 35mm cameras and lenses at thrift shops.  While I know that some lenses can be hundreds or thousands of dollars, these are probably not unbelievably expensive.  I most often see Nikon and Canon of the name brands  I'm shopping today so I'll take pics if I can.

Coupons at Groupon

If you haven't tried it already, try groupon.com.  You can purchase goods and services at discounted rates.  It is a great idea for date night as you can get many restaurant coupons for 50% off.  Not McDonalds coupons but great discounts at decent restaurants.

GQ Style Manual and buying at thrift shops

A great guide for men dressing well is the GQ Style Manual.  How does that tie into thrift shops?  It gives you a great guide on how things should fit and most importantly how clothes should be tailored.  One key statement; a great tailor can make a $100 suit look like a $1000 suit.

Because you can buy mid to high priced suits, pants, shirts for a great price you can really make them look great by getting them tailor.  Too often things are brought off the rack and NOT tailored.  Particularly pants.  While I wouldn't  recommend buying pants a size too large, their legs can be narrowed or cuffs added or length changed and the slacks will look great.
