I couple of years ago I inherited some vintage camera gear. I am now looking into selling it on and invest in my current Pentax setup.

Can anybody help me with any information of the equipment I have and the best places to look when selling vintage camera gear in the UK and what prices I might be expecing. It all seems to be in good condition. I know there is ebay but I’m not sure if I wouldn’t be better going to a good dealer.

All comments and advice appreciated as I am trying to find out a bit more about what I have got.

I have used some of the Takumar lenses on my Pentax K-5 and they seem to give good results but I would prefer so to autofocus.

Ashai Pentax Spotmatic II

you can sell on here after a certain time or post count, but that it is a nice lot of gear :)
 
Have a look in the back of Amateur Photographer, there are a couple of dealers in classic kit who advertise there.
 
Thanks for the advice I have taken my chances and listed the items on eBay.
