Question
Will lenses for a Pentex ME fit one of the new cameras,
or would I be better off selling what I have, and is there a market for this type of equipment.
F4.5 80-200 MM,F1.7 50MM,F2.8 28MM

Not familiar with your camera but you can probably get an adapter on ebay that will let you use your lenses with a new camera. I was able to get an adapter that let me attached my Nikon film camera lens to my Olympus digital camera. Must use manual focus when using adapters but if you have good lenses it is definitely worth it. ( I think I paid $16 for the adapter). You can also check ebay to see what you might expect to get if you sell the camera and lenses.

Fitting to a Canon EF mount is dicey.. Many times an adapter puts the lens too far away from the film plane and you lose infinity focus.. It's best to research compability first..
