Moving to Brazil and I found...

[ShutterSpeed]

while packing my stuff and going through junk...i stumbled upon a camera that belongs to my wife...and wondered if anyone can tell me the value of it.

Its a Vivitar V3000s with a 50mm f1.7 lens. This is a film camera.

if she decides to sell it..i want to know how much i could get for it.

about $20 tops, film cameras over here that used to be a fortune can be picked up at car boot sales for pennies, I keep looking for lenses but have had no luck. H

check at KEH and see what the price point might be.

i did an ebay search and saw that $25 was the max price and about $9.00

I say keep it then sell it when we get the next generations of SLR's.....Optical SLR's? lol. IDK maybe

 

[SrBiscuit]

sry to hijack....but ive often wondered this myself...i have a couple film cams i wouldnt be opposed to selling, but the values are so little compared to what i paid (one is a nikon n65).

just out of curiosity though...why does the nikon F5 seem to maintain it;s value so well? because it's pro grade?

jus' wonderin'

Take it with you to Brazil. There may be more film shooters down there.

My wife is Brazilian. We planned for a while to move there - but some recent events kind of expedited our plans. It is exciting. I'll actually be working for a photographer down there. Both of us will be.

Wow! That is great! Congratulations and good luck!

Moving to Brazil......

Awesome....I've always wanted to move to Brazil. My husband and I almost packed up and moved there last year. Can I message you and ask a few questions?

at first in Teresina, PI until we get on our feet
and then maybe Curitiba, Sao Luis, Fortalez - some place much nicer than Teresina.
