My first dslr was a Sony Nex. I bought it used without a lens. I now have maybe twenty different manual focus lenses, from various manufacturers. I use lens adapters from ebay. Usually around $12.00. Because of this approach I learned to shoot in manual mode exclusively and feel that I learned to understand the basics of how a camera works. Besides that, It is loads of fun trying all the different types of lenses. and older lenses are dirt cheap for high quality.

Does your camera store have a shelf where they display old stuff? Adding to their display could be a great way to establish yourself as a preferred customer.

If you itemize your taxes donate it to a charitable organization and get a receipt.

Well, your local historic society might have an interest in adding to or creating a photography section to their facility...or a local college or high school may have a photography department/art department that could use the equipment for training purposes.

goodwill (get a donation paper) and put it on your taxes next year.
keep it until you die and let someone else deal with it.

Pretty much hits all the bases!

Put on display or donate to a high school in your area. My grand daughter is a freshman in high school and took a photography class. They required a 35mm film camera for the class.
