Can someone please tell me where I could find what my camera and equipment are worth so that I can sell them?

 

I have a Soligor Zoom Macro 83-300 mm-Mint-used once.

Konica Hexanon AR 28 mm, (2) 50mm, 135mm

Osawa 80-205 Macro-good conditon

Konica 80-205 135mm F3.5

Tamron Hood covers (2) Mint

Konica Instruction book and light shoe

 

Thank you,

There is really no digital camera that can use Konica mount lens with out needing some modification to the lens

mount. As a result, 3rd Party lens with Konica mount don't worth much, unless it is one of those cult lens. Even

then it will worth less than those with a Nikon or pentax mount.

 

Your Soligor 83-300, 80-205 Osawa hardly worth the postage cost. Is your 50mm a f1.2. If it is, it could worth ~$300.

If it is a f1.4, it is a darn good lens but doesn't worth much $~50. If it is a f1.8 less even. Your 28mm and 135 are

also very good lens but will worth less then a 50/1.4.

 

Hope these help. If I were in your shoe, trash your Soligor and Osawa but will try to find a good Konica body to use

the 28, 50 and 135.

The best way to get an appraisal, I find, is to simply take your camera to a small photography shop that also sells used

equipment on consignment; many do. Simply ask them what they'll give you for it. I have only sold one camera in my life,

and, in retrospect, probably should have kept it instead. J.

This is a site recommended by another photo forum. I have never approached them myself, but one day I surely will! There

are serious collectors out there but they tend to buy the very best equipment. It's only for display but must be in perfect

condition. Anyway, try these guys and do let us know how insulted you were by their offer!
