I have a friend whose brother in law died recently. He has asked me to dispose of his camera kit so I thought I would ask here for some advice.
I think he would rather the kit went to a good home where it would be used, more important than any money, but at the same time they obviously has some value. Could anyone suggest prices for the following items and if anyone is interested please PM me. ![]() Super Takumar 55mm 1.8 there are two of these. Both are clean, iris snappy and in good cosmetic condition. Super Takumar 35mm 3.5 Clean, iris snappy and in good cosmetic condition. ![]() Super Takumar 135mm 3.5 Clean, iris snappy and in good cosmetic condition. Variable auto tube Auto Teleplus 2x-3x, cased. ![]() Soligor Tele Auto 135mm 2.8 lens 42mm fitting. Clean, iris snappy and in good cosmetic condition. ![]() Tamron adapt-a-matic 70-220mm constant f4 M42 fitting. Clean, iris snappy and in good cosmetic condition. This has a tripod mount ![]() Original Pentax Lens Hood for 135/150/200mm Original Pentax lens Hood for 50-55mm ![]() Refconverter + case Good codition I'd be grateful for any selling advise, pricing suggestions you could offer.

Super Takumar 55mm f/1.8 between £20 and £30 depending on condition.
Super Takumar 35mm f/3.5 between £30 and £40. Super Takumar 135mm f/3.5 about £30-£35. Soligor 135mm £10-£15. Tamron 70-220 f/4, hard to say, probably £30? Refconvertor (fits Spotmatic and K series cameras, not M series and later) £15. HTH. Kris. PS I might be interested in the hood. Is it a metal one?

Kris has got the prices just about spot on.
The 55's, if they were S-M-C or SMC Taks, would be worth a tad more (about £10-20) due to their functioning with later bodies. As they are, they are still worth what Kris mentioned, and very worthy they are too. The 35mm, again worth more in SMC spec, but worth more than the 55's are they tend to be a little bit more rare (I say little, as the 55's came with bodies, the 35 was a separate purchase) Have you thought about keeping them and getting an M42-K adapter? Why? these lenses are excellent on Digital Pentax bodies. I actually use them on my K-5, and they are superb!. Digital - K-5, K20D, K10D, *istDS. Film - MZ-5n, MZ-50, Spotmatic F, SV. Many lenses both K-mount and M42. Many Bags, Interfit strobes and constant. LR3 and CS6.

Thanks for the reply.
I have thought of buying some of them myself but some I already have and also I wanted to offer a fair price. They are not mine and I will be paying for them. The money will be going to my friends sister. Which hood interested you Kris? Bob
