Hello!

[Peter Craigs]

I'm Peter, I posted an ad in the sale section without realising I should have introduced myself in here first so apologies for that!

I've come on here to find people who are knowledgable about cameras and equipment to try and either sell some of my Grandad's old camera equipment or to learn more about them so I can decide what best to do with them, I have a small interest in photography myself but its restricted to the digital age and this equipment seems to be from the 50's up to the 80's.

Anyway, all comments welcome!

Hi Peter
Thanks for saying hi ...
ill go back into the other thread and have a look at the stuff for you properly now ...

 

[Brian Moore]

Welcome, Peter. You'll find the folks in this forum to be knowledgable and friendly.

 

[Pete Askew]

Welcome Peter. Hopefully you will stay and increase your interest in photography through RPF. Who knows, given the low value of the equipment you are selling, you may even decide to start using it yourself - there are many film users who can help / encourage.

 

[Peter Craigs]

Ive never tried using proper film cameras so you could be right, it may be worth holding on to one and giving it a try!

hello. welcome to the forum.

Wo wo wo ... Let's not get hasty with this "low value" stuff ... Some of those rokkors are worth a fortune!!! If the 100mm is the f2 version those things are like rocking horse poo ... £500 worth at least I'd say!

Maybe £400 looking at eBay completed listings actually ... Still, few quid!

Hi Peter - welcome!

Off to look at the 'rocking horse poo' you have for sale - sounds interesting!

 

[Lesley Jones]

Hello and welcome Peter. There are a lot of film users in here. It would be lovely if you decided to stay and use some of that gear. I'm off to have a peek myself...

 

[Peter Craigs]

Thanks for the welcomes! I have taken some pictures of all of the gear so will put those on and see if things are any clearer.

Hi Peter,

Yep, there's loads off people on here very knowledgeable about all sorts of stuff ............... and there are also those of us who know bugger all about anything.

enjoy.

 

[Peter Craigs]

I definitely come under the 'knowing bugger all' category!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Nothing wrong with that!
Its enjoying pushing the button that makes a real photographer in my books ... You dont need to know much to do that on a lot of modern cameras!
