Hi all,

I have some older camera equipment from my gf's and her friends father. I was curious where would be a good place or if there was a market for older equipment. The friend has a tokina AF 75-300mm

and tamron 28-200mm

I have an assortment of old film cameras and lenses from the father. Konica Autoreflex A3, 50mm prime F1.7, 85-205 zoom, and a Karat prontor-svs pictured below.

The friend is hard up for cash, so hell be looking to hopefully get something for those lenses. I just want to get my gf's dad some cash if there is a market for his stuff at all.

As always, thanks for all the help POTN'ers!!

Edit- Also, how much do you think he could feasibly get for those two lenses?

Yea I mean I told him to post there. I just wasn't sure if there was a good site or forum with people looking for older stuff.

just a thought: apart from their whatever monetary value today, these cameras would probably be priceless in a few years, to the girlfriend & friends' children...


some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

Very valid point, which is why I have not been in any rush to sell the gear that was given to me. The friend, however, is hard up for cash so he definitely wants to sell his two lenses.
