Immaculate Zenit gear up for grabs.

Postby Doorstop » Tue Jan 18, 2011 8:43 pm

Right folks, I don't know if there's any of the collectors amongst us that can use any of this stuff but I thought I'd pop it on here before it goes on eBay.

Paid a wee visit to my ex-inlaws today as my lassie is over there for a wee visit and the subject of my interest in photography came up. Turns out the father-in-laws' brother had a keen interest in photography too and had some stuff to pass on when he recently sadly passed away.

It's all in absolutely pristine (and I mean pristine) nick .. even the cases don't have a mark on them and the leather is still all stiff and shiny like it's hardly ever seen the light of day.

I have no idea what this kit is worth, if anything, but if anyone out there can a) educate me as to worth and b) give me an offer coming close to same I'll be happy to pass them on to whoever then get the cash back to old fella.

You considered taking them into Quigg's (or Merchant City Cameras or whatever it's called)? Or at least having a look in their window to see if there's anything similar to give you an idea of price? I've not a clue, eBay seems to suggest you'll probably get £20 to £30 for the body and the prime.... Seems almost a shame to part with it for that cash.

Cheers for that LTTP, this is indeed the route I'm going to go down.

If you're only going to get a double-figure sum for that lot, DS, let me know and I might just take it off your hands myself.

Roger that Josef .. I'll be heading up mid-week probably. I'll drop you a text when I've gotten the info from the shop. Cheers.

I must have a look in the cupboard later. I'm sure there's a Zenit lens in there that needs a home.
