Hope someone can advise me. My wife bought me a Pentax MZ6 film camera a couple of years ago. Unfortunately i never really got the photography bug. It has a Pentax 28-80 lens and a Tamron 70-300mm 1:4-5.6LD with tele macro{1:2}, i am so much of a novice i don't even know if that is the right info. I think i have put at most 4 films through the camera so all is in perfect condition. Basically i came across them the other day and decided to move them on but i don't know if they are worth moving on or how much i should ask for them.

All advise appreciated.

At current eBay prices I'd say around £40 for the MZ6 body, £10-20 for the 28-80 lens and £70-90 for the Tamron. Less if you sell them together (say around £90-100) as different people will likely want different parts. That's based on them being in good order obviously.

You'll lose about 15% of that figure on eBay in fees so if you want to sell them in the classifieds here you need to take that into account (£35 for the body, £10 for the 28-80 and £65 for the Tamron should see them shift). People will want photos of them either way though - buying "blind" will probably halve their values or worse.
