Film camera, Canon AE-1 program. Is there a market?
With Tamron 60-300 mm lense, etc. Haven't touched it in years. What does one do with this kind of thing?

I am not sure that there is a 60-300mm lens that can mount on a Canon AE-1 Program.

Well, my AE-1 and Ftb are in the curio cabinet........
Maybe $175, if you can find a buyer.
I sold my AE-1p with the 28mm f/2.8 for $100 to an UHH member a couple years ago.
Film cameras are in demand now more than in the past few years. Price them on eBay and see where you might price yours.
I had one and gave it to a student.

I sold both of mine a few years ago on UHH, so yes there is a market. Price depends on lens and any accessories such as winder or motor drive.
If you are planning to sell the camera, thoroughly inspect and test it to determine if it is still in working order. Even it was fully functioning when you last used it years ago, it can go bad over time. You can get significantly more money for the camera and be able to sell it more easily if you can affirm that it has been tested and it indeed works.

Yes there is. It is an Adaptall II. I have one.
The black ones generally go for signficiantly more than the chrome one.

I think you're a skilled craftman but even if you were to use those paint the camera would be worthless.

Uhh...film cameras are not in demand in any way except as antique collection...which this isn't.
