Hi there!

I currently have a Canon EOS 50 body, with the following lenses: 24-85mm Ultrasonic, EF 70-200mm 1:4 L USM. I also have a Canon Speedlite 540 EZ flash.

The set has only been used once hence in almost perfect condition (some tiny scratches on the base of the body). I intend to keep the lenses for use with a new DSLR which I'm contemplating on buying.

Would really appreciate advice from you pros out there on the following!

1) where should I sell my SLR? Ebay? A secondhand camera shop? (I'm based in Central London)
I have rung a couple of places today and the quotes I've received so far are not great... London Camera Exchange said they can only offer £50 as trade-in value if I sell it along with the 24-85mm! Another branch has said that they can't really offer cash value and if I buy a DSLR from them they will give me a 8GB memory card.

2) Which Canon DSLR should I get? I would really want to use my current lenses but have heard about compatibility issues etc. Ideally would love to get one that can take HD videos too. Budget is a concern (£1000 - 1200 tops)...

Please kindly shed some light?

Thanks!

please tell me what to do because i just go this camera a month ago
i have a nikon coolpix ss20 digital camera and when i try to turn it off it says lens error what do i do?
never mind my mom shut the lens close and it worked XD i wouldn't recommend doing that though
by the way i got it on ebay and i dropped it on the floor so i can't go to the place i got it =/

It has both manual and automatic mode, and it also has flash. It's used but in good condition.
I don't really know much about cameras, and I bought this at the camera show at Elks Lodge in Old Pasadena. The lens is a 52mm and the zoom is 35-80mm.
I researched on eBay after I came back and I found that some people were selling them for ? But those were without a lens.

I own a 35mm Canon Rebel. I am looking on ebay at a few Canon lenses and wanted to know if I could use them on my Rebel. I don't mind if they are manual, I just want to make sure I can use them.

First of all, what lens designations do I need to look for to make sure I can use the lens with a 35mm Rebel?

Second, will the lenses for an AE-1 Program fit my Rebel?

Third, will a Canon 35mm Camera Lens 200mm 1:35 work with my Rebel?

Thanks for any help.
The 200mm lens is a manual lens. I am not sure how old it is.

Will the 200mm manual lens work on the AE-1 Program?

so im takin photography 1 in school and i need a 35mm film camera
I bouhgt one on eBay but it didnt come with a lens cap
grr
where can i buy one?
( i have a Nikon N80 35mm SLR fiml camera )
thank you[:

In case there is a good place that I may not be familiar with, please inform me.

I do not use ebay to sell, too many fees etc. I already have a listing on cragist list. I know about www.keh.com as well, but the prices they give you are ridiculously low.

Are there any forums that have a classifieds section perhaps? Or any other place like that where it is free to post what you have up for sale?

I am selling a nikon mount sigma 105mm macro lens.

I'm interested in learning some basics about telephoto camera lenses. I was expexting to see the magnification described as 2x, 3x etc., but instead I saw an ad that said "Magnification: (65 to 600mm)", I don't know what that means.

I am thinking about buying a digital camera that also does movies, and a lens for photographing wildlife. I would like to do extreme closeups from 50-100 feet away. After researching, I would like to take a chance on ebay and get the most zoom for the buck. General 'newbie' tips appreciated.
Thanks averyone. Fredshelp, this was very well stated, "The 2x, 3x 10x designations are really just the rough result of dividing the Telephoto number by the Wide Angle number." Now I see, I will start researching when school lets out, but the great posts here will be a good launch.

Can the D60 digital camera use any older Nikkor lens from the film cameras? If so, is the aperture ring functional or does the camera meter the light automatically?
What I mean is, what older lenses will use the full-functionality of the D60 features, and what type are simply compatible but may not have auto-focus or some other capability? I see lots of older Nikon lenses on ebay for 0 or less but not sure if they are a good option.

I'm looking for a wide-angle lens and a fish-eye lens of some sort for a Canon Rebel G. I'm not sure if they make real lenses for this thing or if this is just how they are for older cameras.

Are any of these decent?

Are there any better options out there for this camera?

I have a Canon AE1 film camera with 3 lens, and intend to sell them in eBay to reach a wider market AFTERr not succesful to sell it in craiglist locally and AFTER having some customers wanting me to mail my cameras to their relatives in Africa.

How do I get started at eBay to sell my camera, e.g., setting up an eBay account, mailing and getting paid? Thanks.

i have looked on eBay amazon and many other website finding a huge variety of choices for camera lenses. I can not figure out what lens is right for my camera i would like a fish-eye lens for my self adjusted Minolta 35 mm. Please help i don't want to spend over 100$ on the wrong product.

I just bought a Nikon D40 which I'm very happy with it. I wan't to buy a wide angle and a telephoto lense and see some great deals on lenses on Ebay. I'm a little hesitant to buy them off of Ebay because I'm afraid they will be junk quality.

Here are some examples of what's out there:

I am by no means an expert in photography and would appreciate your input as to what to look for in a lens and what makes a good lens vs. a crap lens.

thanks in advance!

I'm totally new to the whole SLR 35mm camera thing. I just started a photography class. I also just purchased a Minolta Maxxum 5000i camera that comes with a "Sigma Lens". Here's a link to the auction that I won:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300256891749&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

1, did I get a good deal? 2, If I were to buy other lenses for this camera, what kind of lens would I need to get? What things would I need to know?

Thanks!

i bought a nikon d40 dslr camera a few months ago because im on a tight budget since i'm only in high school and my parents wont pay for it.

but i really want a film camera so i was thinking of buying a used one off of ebay,

but then i realized i would have to spend so much more on lenses and such

so i was wondering if i bought a nikon film camera would my digital lenses work on it?

or would the film lenses work on the digital camera?

im about to invest in a rather espensive lens soon so i hope it will work for both

I'd like to find a good quality digital SLR with detachable lenses. I think I'd like both a 28-80 AF zoom and a 75-300 AF zoom, but I'm open to other advice. I have about 0 total to spend on the camera and lenses. I've looked at the Canon EOS Rebel XTi, and that's the level camera I'm thinking about, but it looks like I might not get all I want for the 0 I have to spend. There are a lot of packages on eBay, but if you read the feedback, I don't see anyone on there I want to deal with. I'd like to have something with at least 8 megapixel. Does anyone have ideas or suggestions for me? Thanks!

should I buy a D40 Digital SLR 2 Lens Camera Outfit w/18-55mm ED II DX AF-S & 55-200mm ED DX AF-S Lenses -52mm- or a
Nikon D-50 6.0MP Digital SLR Camera with a 28-80mm LENS and 70-300mm LENS? do i need to buy a flash too? the later deal is second hand and is on ebay and it says it's like new. the first deal is brand new. both of the cameras have two lenses.

I have been comparing the prices of D-SLR cameras on ebay, and I'm unsure of the differance between the manufactors lens kit and an aftermarket kit. Are the aftermarket kits compariable quality or shoul I go with the manufactors?

i was wondering is it possible to attach a 35mm lens to my nikon d60?

do you need a step up ring or is it not possible?

thanks.. this is what i bought:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350196733663

can i buy anything to make it compatible?
would this work? http://www.sourcingmap.com/silvery-aluminum-m42-adapter-ring-for-nikon-d40x-d60-d70s-d80-d200-p-27668.html?currency=GBP

Currently I have a simple digital point and shoot Sony camera; I am planning on upgrading to the Canon Rebel XTi. Since I have only ever owned point and shoot cameras I know nothing about lenses. I would like to buy a kit on Ebay that includes the camera body and a couple of lenses. There are cheaper kits that include Tamron lenses or Sigma lenses; and more expensive kits that include Canon lenses. My question is: If I want to save money and go with the Tamron or Sigma lenses, will I be sacrificing quality? Or should I spend the extra cash and get the Canon lenses?

1. I have a 35mm film Canon EOS300V from 2003 and want to go digital as I am tired of wasting money on developing many rubbish photographs. Will my 28-105mm and 75-300mm lenses be compatible with a new Canon Digital SLR body?

2. Which bodies would you recommend for about £300 - £400? Brand new or slightly better second-hand of Ebay?

Any recommendations very appreciated!

I have a manual SLR camera (Pentax MX), three lenses (50mm, 28mm wide angle, 100-300mm zoom) and a flash that I want to sell on EBAY.

The lenses go with the camera, but can be used for other like-cameras (model and type). The flash can be used with any manual SLR camera. All of them are in mint condition.

Here's the question:
Should I sell them as a group on EBAY as a group, or sell them individually?

Thanks for your help!
