Workmates lens worth anything? Old Nikon's

[chiffs]

Was shown these the other day by a work mate.

They are not in the best of condition, seem to rotate for focus nice and smoothly and can see the aperture opening and closing nicely.

The 80-200mm the glass seem to have some fugus in it,might need a proper clean.

The other two dont seem to bad,prices its alway how much people are willing to pay,but nothing their that rare enought to get big prices

Yeah the zoom does have fungus in it as does the 50 1.2. Best condition one was the 50 1.4.

Could all do with a clean for sure.

Hi,


I think the second one is a 50mm f2...


If I didn't have a 50mm f1.4 already I would be offering summat for it. The others would be good for students perhaps or those wanting to try manual. The 1.4 you should be able to shift fairly easily, especially if its crisp on pictures.

Good luck

Sorry yep its a f2

The zoom Nikkor 80-200 f4.5 is an Ai mount, and likely to sell faster than the other 2, because Ai lenses fit a fair few Nikon DSLR's, but not all

The 50mm f2 is Pre Ai or Non Ai, and requires modification to fit some modern DSLR's, but probably best left to the film cameras, although some folk swear by old lenses and will mod them till they fit on modern Nikon bodies

The 50mm f1.4 Nikkor S is the oldest lens of the 3 from 1972/73 but again, it will need modding for DSLR's.

You will get next to nothing for the fungus'd lenses.

The 50 / 1.4, if clean inside and with smooth focus ring and nice snappy oil free Iris, will fetch much more than the others, but not a huge amount. They seem to go for between £35-80 on Fleabay in good condish.

I'd be interested in the 50 1.4. Would be great if you could pm me the link if/when you decide to sell it. Cheers.
