Just wondering if I should keep the boxes that my camera and lenses came in. How long do you normally keep them?

Increases resale value and give you a customized shipping box. Film: Leica M-4, Elan 7E, Rolleiflex 2.8f, Pentax 645 -- Digital: Canon Pro-1, EOS 5D Mk III

I've still got the box of the lens that came with it too. At the beginning of time there was absolutely nothing. And then it exploded! Terry Pratchett

When I sell equipment is put everything back in the box, manuals, cables, CDs, whatever. KCMO Al wrote in post #9366343  And if you ever need to send anything in for repair, you're set. I've had the unfortunate experience of sending a lot of stuff to Canon. Each time they have instructed me not to send in the original packaging unless I don't want it back. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

I've still got the box of the lens that came with it too. I'm working on the basis that if I ever sell it, it will be more attractive to buyers if it still has the original box. Ridiculous, but true... John
