| 586959 | 2007-09-01 22:28:00 | Does anyone know if there's any value in trading in 35 mm SLR gear for new Digital camera stuff. I've a heap of Olympus and some Nikon gear that may be worth something. Anyone any experiences? |

| 586960 | 2007-09-01 22:33:00 | Not worth much. A lot of lenses and accessories may still work with the digi's ie .. the more pro models, say Nikon D200 and up - ie .. remote release cable, flash in reduced mode and the lenses still meter but will be manual focus or AF lenses will continue to work. |

| 586961 | 2007-09-01 22:46:00 | I am in the same situation where I will hopefully be getting a new digital camera body (35 ml SLR) for existing lenses after I have checked out with The Photo Warehouse as to whether my "old" lenses will work on a newer model Digital SLR. I like taking photos but don't like paying to have the film developed and I am not a pro photographer, just an enthusiastic hobbyist. It might even give me an excuse to try out Aperture or Adobe's Light Room. |

Sorry Ken,nothing so elegant merely a Nikon 801 body with a 35-70 AF Nikkor and a 70-210 AF Nikkor |

| 586965 | 2007-09-03 00:00:00 | You are probably like thousands of others. Who wants a film camera now ? Everyone is digital and no one wants to pay for film. I have two old Nikons (Nikormatts) with beautiful lenses but they don't fit modern Nikons. Regards Digby |

| 586966 | 2007-09-03 00:41:00 | I have a Nikon film body and can develop and enlarge monochrome. I've yet to see a good digital b&w print. Desaturating colour digital is not the same and has a long way to go before it's in the same class as b&w photography. Also, in medium and large format, there is a place for film. Not many photographers can afford $40,000 or so for a Hasselblad medium format body. |
