Is it worth holding on to AE1?

[tarawynne]

I have a box of old camera stuff...AE1 body, 3 lenses along with filters and stuff. Is it worth holding on to? I went digital this Christmas and don't know if the 35mm stuff is obsolete.

It is terribly obsolete - please let me know how much shipping will be to send it all to me for "disposal". I will be willing to "get rid of it" for you.

Ciao!

I'll post the details if you might be interested. Check your inbox as well.

I think Tampa is teasing you a bit there. You can check on eBay; in my experience AE-1 equivalents sell between $75-$125 for the body and 50mm lens. However - the lens can go for a lot if they are the manufacturer's first line (that is, Canon's first line, not the 3rd party brands) and if they are unusual. There are some Minolta lens I watch for that typically sell at $200-$300.

YMMV

Thank you sPh, I figured out the innuendo....I don't know exactly what I have so I'll post a follow-up with the details. Hopefully you can tell me if its' worth keeping...If they are great lenses then I'd love to know.

Looks like I've also got a Canon FD 50mm 1:1.8 and a Vivitar 28MM 1:2 Wide Angle. I also have and old Vivitar 2600 external Auto Flash. There is a Tokina 28-200 but the the glass is scratched (any way to get that fixed???). Other items include a stepping ring, a Soligor "T2" Mount for Canon, Aetna Rokunar Coated Fliter and Oemgao Film Developing reel and tank.

I also have a AE-1 camera. I would have an interest. My e-mail is jmorganz@kc.rr.com

Please send me an idea of what you want for your items.

THank you, JohnT
