Nikon FG?
I have a Nikon FG with a 70-150 lens and a 28mm macro len. The 28 is a Star-D and the 70-150 is a Vivitar. Also have a Vivitar 3700 flash unit.

Any one out there have a idea what this set is worth? Everything is in great shape.

Thanks

The lenses and flash can be had at thrift shops or E-Bay etc for $10 and up. Check online and see what folks are "asking". Used photo gear retails for 20 cents on the dollar these days. Great deals for collectors or anyone wanting good stuff cheap, not so good for anyone selling. Situation stems from major manufacturers basicaly making hundreds of millions of cameras and lenses over the years and the market now shifting to cheapy/disposo-digital crap.

Tell me about it! The F series Nikon are hard to beat, but people are wanting everything fast now days. To impatient for the good stuff!!

I'll take a film picture over a digital one any day of the week!

I've started to snap up some of the more interesting 60's $ 70's 35mm gear. Bought a mint 1963 Hi-Matic 7 for $20!

Ya alot of old (good) stuff going cheap. I wonder what people do when they hit the delete button by accident!

You won't have that problem with 35 mm film, haveing that negitive print is a bonus!

Bigger problem is having some gomer destroy your film during developing. Had 5 rolls of 35mm film from a once in a lifetime trip fried at a lab. They offered to give me a couple rolls of film as compensation. Besides, if you're photographing something you might not want the local Baptists to see, no lab has to touch your digi-work.

As a side note: The lenses will work on a few of Nikons digital bodys, but they're a pain to use.
