Hello and welcome. This forum is about using old manual lenses, not valuing items you acquired Wink I'm sure members will be able to tell you more about the equipment though.

As for value, you can enter the details into ebay and select "completed listings". This will tell you what price people are prepared to pay.

unfortunately those lenses can't be used on Nikon d90 because of short register distance.

Sell Leica and Rolleiflex and from sale amount you can buy plenty of Nikon lenses.

Attila,

what do you suggest pricing these items at since i was just told this will not work on my D90. I wonder if it will work with a 5D Mark III or D800E. i'm asking what price as the comment following your state that the Leica body and Rolleiflex woudl only run about 500 total.. that not much to buy a Nikon Lens now and days.. lol Thanks in advnace for the replies

you can see above post about prices and link to look sold items on Ebay.

Old Nikkor lenses AI, AIS a bit used abused rare go on high price in USA 50-100 USD each.
These are range finder lenses with short distance , they work only mirror less cameras, due short register distance. You can buy second hand Sony NEX-3, Panasonic G1, Samsung NX etc around 100-200 USD and enjoy your lenses.

It's all worthless. I'll give you "5 for the lot. Laughing Laughing Laughing

Actually, I think you should try them out 1st and see if you like them; only then consider selling.

Those prices are somewhat optimistic. I would decrease them one third to one half.

PS: Whenever someone posts looking for a value on an equipment forum, they usually get several replies advising to "try them out", "keep them and shoot with them", etc.

Unfortunately (or fortunately for us), the vast majority of people are not old gear collectors or users. They will never "try them out", and only want the latest automated digital equipment. The "keep it and try it" advice falls on deaf ears, they are only seeking to convert their finds into quick cash.

The Leica IIIf body seems to go for $150-400 on US ebay, depending on condition, operability (tested and warrantied), and collectors details - accessories attached, variants, etc.

The Serenar 35mm seems to go for $200-300, yours seems to be a complete set with the case and viewfinder.

etc.

The guys above are right, these lenses can only be used on a mirrorless digital body like a Sony Nex-3. Its quite easy to do that as screw-mount Leica adapters for any of these are cheap and easy to find.

Vintage manual Nikkor SLR lenses (as opposed to older Nikon rangefinder lenses) are cheap. You should be able to pick up a magnificent Nikkor-S 50/1.4 for under $70.

The Nikkor-Q 135/2.8 is also superb, and often available for under $50. I keep one around for my Pentax (yes, I can make this combo work), just to show the other 135's what to aspire to ! Etc.

Have a look in ebay.

There are also many third party manual focus lenses available in Nikon mount that are very worthwhile, including some fine Russian wide angles and fisheyes. Check out the Tamron Adaptall line also.

These are pre-Ai lenses. I've never tried it, but many sources suggest that attempts to mount pre-Ai lenses on a Nikon D90 will damage it.

Pre AI lenses can be AI'd by a qualified tech.

The gear you picked up looks good, it's just that they were not designed for SLR's(distance from lens mount to sensor).
you can also look at KEH.com to find prices, buy or sell.

Of the stuff you have there, I'm most interested in the Nikkor, but that's me.

I don't know why I didn't say this in my post since I was thinking it, sell the bodies and get a NEX-6.

He's grossly over-valued your junk which you can give me and I'll refund your postage - can't say fairer than that now, you being a Nikon user and all Laughing Laughing

You ought to try it. I get far more ought of film than digital - but then I am a Canon user! Laughing Laughing
