Cleaning out the house in preparation for a move. I've got a Pentax Spotmatic
with 50mm, 105mm and 200mm lenses and various filters and what-nots. Worth
anything to anyone or should I just keep them as museum pieces ?

Thanks.

Some of the older Pentax gear can still be used on the new digitals but if
you can quote the specifics of the lenses in the Pentax forum at
www.dpreview.com I am sure you will get a good response from some very
knowledgeable Pentaxians. The older M42 (screw mount) lenses are generally
not so useful unless they are top of the range lenses and have a star in
their .

Cheers.

How much you want for them? I've been looking for a Spotmatic.

For you Kelpie, because you cause me so much grief, $5,000.

You're a different "Kelpie" from the one I'm familiar with ?

Only interested in the Spot. My dads camera and as the first camera I owned
and was stolen, wouldn't mind one to play with.

Same here - have a bit of a sentimental attachment. I'll think about it after I
move house.....
