    Hi

    I thought I try this forum and see what the suggestion would be.

    There are two cameras which are old and unwanted. I am not sure what to do with them. How much would they be worth if I wish to sell them?

    So what have I got?.....

    Nikon Nikonmat black with standard and long lens with flash. Very old and heavy but still workable. Covers included. Film only.

    and

    Pentax MZ-S black 24-90mm lens and 100-300mm lens. Bag included. Camera recently repaired. Film only. Excellent camera.

    I'd appreciate your input.

    Thanks a mill

    It's kinda hard to tell without more details how much they're worth. The nikkormats were budget cameras back in the day, they're still built to a better standard than most modern SLRs. They're not wildly popular though, so depending on the model abd the time of day and whether or not there's a full moon or whatever you could get anything from €20 -> €200 on ebay.
    Same with the lens, if it's a noct-nikkor f/1.2 then you'll get upwards of a few thousand euros for it. If it's some off brand vivitar 50mm in an F mount then you'll have difficulty giving it away. The devil is in the details :)

    Dunno much about pentax, but the MZ-S's seem to go for reasonably high prices on EBay so that might be your best bet.

    Stick them up on adverts with a premium of about 20% over whatever you think you'll get based on completed listings on EBay and see what happens. If you feel like donating the Nikkormat for free I'd happily take it off your hands for you :D

    If you don't want the Pentax stuff.. you can gift it to me. ;)

    I wouldn't mind having a film body that could use all the lenses I have for my digitals... and those 2 lenses might be interesting to compare & contrast with other lenses I have.

    or.. you could sell them. ;)
