Are these worth saving/having - Car Zeiss Prakticar

I have inherited an old Praktica B100 - these lenses came with it. I'm sadly very hopeless when it comes to older glass and cameras but they look nice.

Are they worth anything to anyone ?

They don't adapt well to Nikon DSLRs, but loads of other cameras can make use of them - not as many as will take M42 but PB is still readily adaptable.
I've got the M42 version of the 50mm & possibly the 135. I don't think I have that 35, but I do have the CZJ Flektogon 35mm/2.4 which is a truely fantastic lens.

I don't think they'll sell for much but you should be able to get at least £20 for each lens. Strangely I've found cameras with a lens attached often go for less than the lens alone.
 
Are they definitely Praktica B? Rather than M42?
 
I've used all of them adapted with an A7Rii and they all are perfectly fine lenses imho.
As Mike says at or around £20 each providing they are functional, clean and fungus free, more for the 35mm f2.4 which is the same optical design as a CZJ Flektogon 35mm f2.4( a fairly sought after lens).

If you want a better idea of their £ value punch their details into ebay and check the box for 'sold' which will bring up the most recent listings that have sold and how much they went for.
