The *Official Photography Thread*

I told myself I would never buy another new Canon body. The mkiii had that lovely focusing issue. Two bodies and two trips to canon for repair.

Great camera but just so frustrating.

 

Recently purchased a Pentax 70-200mm f2.8. Haven't been out to use it but I'm hoping as the weather continues to warm I'll have more opportunities to get into the mountains.

 

Who's shooting film these days?

 

Ladies and Gents, my Grandma has asked me to go through this and find out if it has any value. Do you all have any input?
If these don’t have value we’ll donate the vintage stuff to a camera store.

 

You got a few goodies in there. Mainly the Nikon F FTN and the Rollei 35.

 

We also have the box, leather accessories, and manual for the F.

 

There's people that want $500 for theirs which I think is ridiculous. I'd see it being worth $100-150. Also, most of the meters on those are shot by now and hard to fix. Rollei would probably worth 50-100 bucks.

 

KEH.com and adorama.com both buy used equipment. What you can do is take a look at what things are selling for vs what they're offering for your used gear.

 

That 60mm 2.8D is perfectly usable still today assuming it's in good shape. It looks mint. @95 taco

 

There's some good stuff in there.
That Rollei 35 is a great camera. Not sure what they sell for these days. There a several versions of it.
Some decent Nikon glass in there.
The polaroid SX-70 is an awesome camera! They fetch a decent price.

 

Along with keh and adorama there is mpb.com as they buy used gear too. Last month I sold a few lens to them as well as a battery grip and received more than what I would have let it go for if sold locally through CL/FB market. In that process they had a lens I was interested in so they sent me that lens and direct deposited the difference left over from my gear sale into my bank account. Process and experience was easy.

I shoot a fair amount of film. I part of a local shared darkroom too.

 

New thing, what would you guys do with the old one?

Sell it off now for whatever pocket change it’s worth or wait till I get a new smaller lens and sell off the lenses and old body together

 

Trade. Adorama and I think B&H do that.

 

Hmmmmm

 

That's awesome! Last year I decided to sell my Sony A7 & lenses and have just decided to shoot on my Olympus OM1 exclusively. Just running 2 primes, a 2.8 28mm and a 1.8 50mm. Been loving Kodak Gold on it and am about to shoot a wedding with portra 800.

 

I shoot mostly on a 28 and a 40. Covers most of what I like to shoot.
Portra is great! I’ve shot a lot of that Kodak ultra max lately. It’s nice. I really liked that color Agfa film that was discontinued.
The darkroom posts a lot of good stuff from the members if you’re interested.

Good luck at that wedding shoot!

 

Had a blast on the Mojave Road Trail, camped out at some very old lava rock formations on night 2. Gear is just a Canon 5DMkII with a 24-70 f2.8 L.

Don't have the opportunity at the moment to go out and get shots. So I've gone through a lot of my old RAW files and am fixing up some pics from years past. Here's one I got of Seattle.
