SLR lens conversion (crop?) and film body Question

[feriso]

Over the weekend I met up with a mate and found out that quite some years ago he got himself a Canon film SLR with a couple of lenses. Now the lenses he had were a 28-90 and 80-200mm Canon EF fit, so are these subject to the crop factor (hence 80-200 is actually 50-125 on my 500D?). The latter works fine with auto/manual focus on my 500D so I've borrowed it for my hols to have a play with.

Now like I said he got him self into SLR by getting a Canon 300v/x (I can't remember which) and after having a play with my 500D he's thinking about getting back into it, but obviously going digital. So, is his film SLR worth much? If so how much and where's the best place to sell. It's in immacualte condition and I think its done less than 100 shots with it (or not far off)

The equivalency factor is x 1.6 so the 80-200 on a 500D will behave a bit like a 128-300mm lens on a 35mm or full frame camera.

Sadly film cameras are worth sod all - may get £ 30 on Ebay, recent prices vary from under £ 9 for body only, to £ 80 ish if well described and with some accessories.
