Can anyone give a home to my '80s Minolta 700 AF 35 mm camera? It comes with bag, several lenses, Minolta flash, a bucket full of Cokin filters / effects and handbooks too. In another life it cost me over a grand, but that was over 30 years ago, now it's just gathering dust. So, if it takes your fancy and you feel like going retro, get back to me.
Cheers
Peter
 
I must have over 50 slr cams here all in a sideboard and not used,some smart sod invented digital making mine old hat.😭
 
I have a Canon AE1 gathering dust. Cassettes and Vinyl records are back in fashion so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Looks like they are selling for decent money on ebay so with all the other accessories surely you could get a few bob for your hols?
 
Keep hold it is making steady headway. Various brands and types of film are been made again that went out of production. ;)
 
Just seen a old ducati 35mm camera go to over £400 on flog it so you need to be sure of what you got

The old Minolta lenses are usually the alpha mount type and they still fit many recent Sony digital cameras. If no-one is interested in the whole caboodle, you might find a buyer for the lenses alone. I've still got my old Minolta SLR from the 80s and a DSLR from about 10 years ago plus 2 compact digitals... but these days I only ever seem to use my phone. Sad really 😞
 
Just to say, Peter has given me his camera and equipment to sell on behalf of his chosen charity. It will appear on Ebay & Shpock soon.
 
Progress Eh ?

I have a nice light old Canon SLR (film)

I upgraded to a similar DSLR which uses the same lenses It is a bit Heavy but it is great
and I have a 100 to 300mm zoom lens

Phone cameras are useful but still prefer the Canon
And I have a Kodak Camera with a good Zoom like an SLR but no mirror etc
Can use the viewfinder or screen to frame a photo

Canon & kodak fro me because of the viewfinder !
