Hello all

 

Please let me know if I've listed this in the wrong forum. I purchased two of these pre-production Maxxum 70-210 lenses many, many years ago on eBay. They were obviously designed for trade shows to show off the inner workings of the lens. The main difference from this lens and the common ones is the clear ring that shows the electronics and working gears on the lens. Has anyone ever seen one of these lenses? Does anyone have any idea what they're worth?

 

Thanks so much

 

Jim

The "exxon lawsuit" crossed-x maxxum logo 

brings a minor premium vs the later version 

on same lens.  

  

I would research on the current extra market

value of the crossed-x and then figger to add 

about 2x to 4x the current premium. [Not 2x 

4x of the total value, just of the added value 

of the crossed-x logo.]

  

IOW, if a plain-logo beer can is $100 and the 

crossed-x beer can is bringing $140, IOW 40

extra $$s, then I'd estimate your trade show

beer can would bring and extra $125 [+/-] on 

top of the hypothetical $100 base price.   

  

So, thaz my estimate as to proportion of extra 

market value .... but I haven't checked out the 

current market value of the basic beer can.

      JPEG options?

      I'd suggest you start by running a simple test.  Take pictures of a typical scene/subject and each of the JPEG settings your camera offers.  Then compare them in the output that you normally produce.  You may or may not see a difference.  I normally shoot at the highest JPEG level and save that file -- but make a smaller file (lower resolution) for normal/typical use. There's plenty of editing that you can do with JPEGs on your computer -- depending on your software -- and there are features in your camera that can help out, as well.  That depends on your camera.  Put them together, and it might meet your needs.  For example, your camera probably has several bracketing features that will take the same shot with different settings with one press of the button.  Then you can select the best JPEG to work with on your computer.  I frequently use this feature to control contrast.

      If you set up some basic presets in your processing software and use batch processing, you don't need jpeg at all. I shoot RAW only, use (free) Faststone Image Viewer which will view any type of image file to cull my shots, and batch process in Darktable. I can start with 2000-3000 shots and in a matter of a few hours have them culled, processed, and posted. A handful of shots, say a couple hundred from a photo walk, are done in minutes.  This saves card space, computer space, and upload time.  The results are very good for posting online. When someone wants to buy one or I decide to print it, I can then return to the RAW file and process it individually for optimum results.  I never delete a RAW file. Sometimes I'll return to an old shot I processed several years ago and reprocess it. I have been very surprised how much better they look as my processing skills improved.
