Selling my Praktica on eBay

Soon to be selling my K1000 and a few lenses and accessories too. I gotta get rid of some stuff. Out with the old, in with the new. I cant be nostalgic forever.

Best places to get old film cameras and lenses?

Or where do you get yours? I know eBay has it all, but I like going through thrift stores and garage sales and finding things. Anyone had luck elsewhere?

So, how many people out there still have a cassette tape player that they still use?

I use mine a good bit, and lately since I’ve realized that I can find cassettes dirt cheap used its really back in commission.

Boston sounds so flippin’ good on cassette

Yes I am an audiophile, and yes I listen to tapes a lot. My collection needs to grow even more though. Digging through old tapes at thrift stores is so much fun, especially when you find an album that you like and don’t already have in analog.

Found some cassettes at the thrift store today for 25 cents each. Lucky me I love analog and I have the means to convert to digital.
Looking at the assortment of covers I think I know why the woman game me an odd look while ringing them up.

Anyone know how the market is for vintage film cameras and lenses?

I’m wanting to sell most of my little collection because I want to focus more on digital. 

I love old (vintage) manual lenses

I’ve been going through this phase recently where I’m using my old manual lenses on my DSLR and I’m loving the results. I use my 30 something year old 50mm more than my brand new optics because I tend to get much better shots with it. I wish old Pentax lenses were cheaper, M42 screw mount and bayonet mount.
