Old Lenses & Their Worth??
I am new to this forum! I have more of an experimental hobby interest in photography but have done a few professional works as well. I recently came into possession of some old camera equipment and I was wondering if anyone here could enlighten me as to the potential worth of these items. There may be a better place on this site for me to be posting this so if that is the case kindly point me in that direction. Otherwise let me know what you think.
Firstly, I have a lens here that is pretty old:
Anyone have any thoughts on whether it is still worth anything?
Thanks in advance!!

Firstly - WELCOME to the forum - you'll find heaps of people here with heaps of knowledge and heaps of enthusiasm to help in various ways
Secondly - I will compare your film-camera lenses of 20+ years ago to motor cars of 20+ years ago ... - yes while they were good and useful "in their day" I think that you will find that time has moved on ... and on ... and on
Older vintage, film camera / manual operation lenses have a novelty value for some collectors, but I doubt that many of today's SLR users will want to buy them. I could be wrong too
