Are film cameras worth much anymore?

    I have an old Pentax film camera with a couple of lenses and a case.

    Have had it for sale on adverts.ie for ages now & finally got an offer.
    Realistically is it worth much?

    Hope it's ok to ask things like this here - if not then apologies

    SOME film cameras are worth something still, some are worth quite a lot. Plasticky electronic consumer level SLRs are, sadly, right down the bottom of the list value wise, just above plastic autofocus zoomy compacts.

    Good way to check is to check the 'sold' listings on EBay for your model camera. From the looks of things €25 is a good offer for it. It doesn't help that the lens are cheapo off brand zooms, from a selling-stuff-second-hand perspective they're effectively worthless, something you'd toss in with a camera body to try and sweeten the deal a bit.

    Thanks for that.
