I have two old 35 mm cameras - a Miranda and a Nikkormat EL which I haven't used since I bought my first digital camera. Is there any market for old, used 35 mm film cameras?
The Nikkormat EL is/has been a very good and inexpensive start to both standard and "close-up/Macro" photography. I bought one a looong time ago. I made it my dedicated body for copy stand and microscope work using a Nikkor 55mm f2.8 lens. Of course you can use any lens that is compatible. It is Aperture Priority/Manual. This camera uses a Silver Oxide 6.0 volt battery that fits into a slot in the inside the bodyfilm plane/rear lens. You open a little flip door to raise the battery out. I haven't used any of the newer lenses but will be good with the "older" ones. BYW This is a FILM camera

I looked into selling my old Minolta bodies and lenses earlier this year in preparation for a move. I decided the low costs offered on Ebay wasn't worth the effort and gave it away to Goodwill. I had also checked online with the stores that sell old gear, again not worth it for me.
the funny thiing about this is your equipment is now going to go on ebay, via goodwill.

this is by way of a general reply. if anyone wants to sell their film cameras or lenses, let me know, via pm, what you have and i'll try and provide a fair price for it. my only caveat is the incamera meter must be working and accutate to 1/2 stop and lenses must be fully operative. this includes, canon, leica, nikon, hasselblad, linhof, alpa, contax slr and rangefinder cameras and lenses.
i will be happy to work with you to achieve a fair price.
thanks,
cody
