Good day all. Due to age and physical impairment I have decided to dispose of my lens collections (slowly). For example I have six F series lens, comprising:- 28mm, 50mm,100mm Macro, 135mm, 35-70mm and 1.7 F AF Adapter, all in vg condition, no idea of value etc. Any help or advice would be much welcome. I live close to Winchester, Hampshire. LCE local to me is an option but I would rather they all went as a package to a forum member who would appreciate them as I have done. Regards John.

Looks like a brilliant collection. Sad to hear that you're ready to let it go!

I'm not sure of the full set but I'd be really interested in the 28mm lens if you were looking to split it.

Good luck with the sales. I guess I'd start with eBay sold values along with what is currently listed to get an idea of what they're worth.
All the gear with no idea

Thanks for message. Still no idea of value. Think I will withdraw ideas of disposing of the lenses.

Okay - I did put suggested prices (based on previous sales) in my message, hoped that would have helped you

I covet the 28mm (but probably can't afford it) and the 135 is an optical masterpiece. The AF adapter is commonly available (at a price) and will transform most quality non AF lenses (even M42s if you know how). So I suggest disposing of them individually.
