Amateur Photographer - UK (2021-11-27)

There has long been a healthy

trade in used film cameras and

lenses, as the best examples have

always held their value. The

pre-loved digital business is

booming too, particularly as the

big makers increasingly focus on premium priced,

high-end mirrorless cameras and lenses. Not

everyone needs this kind of firepower, or has

several grand lying around in spare change. Our

cover feature this week is all about getting the best

deal when buying or selling second-hand, while

the rest of the issue is packed with other essential

money-making and saving tips – including

generating income from stock libraries, and how to

shoot products to sell on eBay. Hardware highlights

include a review of Sony’s FE 70-200mm f/2.8 II,

the iPhone 13 Pro and a field test of a real compact

film classic, the Olympus XA3. Get stuck in!

A ConvAirCar, Model 118 flying car during a test-flight

in California in November 1947. The hybrid vehicle

was designed by Theodore P Hall for the

Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Company of San Diego,

California. Just two prototypes were built and flown

• the second being rebuilt from the damaged first

one. The ConvAirCar was designed to be used by

mainstream consumers, following the post-war

aviation boom, but after its early problems,

enthusiasm for the project quickly waned and it never

went into further production.
