    Is there a market for SLR cameras and lenses?

    Would appreciate some help here - I have a manual SLR camera and lenses that I no longer use or require and wondering if there is a market for such items.

    If this is not the right thread, please move.

    Many thanks.

    Best way to find out is to put them up for sale...

    There's literally hundreds of websites to allow you to do that. Try adverts.ie you can even use your login from this site. Have a look at what others are posting and what price. Then post an ad...

    Ebay tells all.

    Go on, search for the item, then check "Sold Listings" or whatever its called to see a history of how they sell.

    It's a Pentax P30 SLR with standard 50mm lens. Also, a Sigma 75 - 210mm zoom lens.

    I'd check EBay sold listings to confirm, but while there are older cameras that people are willing to fork out for, a Pentax p30 is not one of them. On top of that , off brand lenses generally aren't worth the postage. I'd find a relative or friend that's into film photography and gift it to them.

    I have a P30, they’re a basic entry level SLR and not that desirable, the 50mm might be wort something if it’s pentax and wide aperture.
