Hi all (hope this is the correct forum) - my Uncle died a few years ago (he was very into his photography). Earlier this month my Auntie gave me all of his equipment. Much of the equipment is very old and doesn't fit my camera. But there was an awfull lot of good things that I have been given. I guess I am asking for advice as what to do with it all
Canon 70-200L f/2.8
Canon 100-400L IS (I presume mk1)
Canon 17-35L f/2.8
Canon 28-70L f2.8
Sigma APO 300mm f2.8
Sigma APO 180mm Macro f2.8
Canon 100m f/2.8 (duplicate - so selling my original one)
Canon x1.4 extender
Canon 28-80 f3.5-5.6 (seems pointless keeping this)
Canon 550 EX
I don't think many (if any) of these are the latest models of each
I guess my questions are - what shall I do with them (you can see my existing equipment in my signature)
Are they any good (even if they are old - they are still good lenses right?)
Would they need a service (if so where would you get these done - and anyone know a rough idea of price?)
Any idea what I should do in terms of insurance - I have no idea how to value them to tell our home insurance
I was also give Canon D60 (not 60d) with battery grip (well actually 3 of these bodies and 3 grips - and loads of batteries)
Again - is the D60 any good / worth keeping (I'm aware the camera is almost 14 years old I think) - is it full frame or crop
In addition there were camera bags, tripods, filters etc
On top of this I was also given the older equipment - which I will post about once I have had a chance to sort it
Thanks in advanced for advice / comments
