Old SLR equipment do people still want it?
Discussion
I've recently been given some old SLR equipment from my Father in Law's estate.
I've been asked by his widow to sell them and give her the funds. I've got no idea if old camera stuff has any value etc. So your comments and, perhaps on where to sell it (if it's saleable) would be appreciated.
The equipment comprises:
Olympus OM2N with case and 50mm lens
Vivitar 28mm lens OM mount
Soligor 85-205mm OM mount with case
Vivitar MC teleconverter 3X-21
Olympus T20 flash
Praktica Super TL2 with 50mm lens
All housed in a brown leather Olympus holdall
Is non digital photography still a thing?
Thanks

Film photography is still a thing but the value of analogue gear is generally very low.
You may as well forget about camera bodies. Lenses can command a few quid providing they are in very good nick with no mould or dust inside.... which is rare for the older ones. But even then, you're only going to be looking at £20 or so.
There's nothing particularly rare or top-end in your list so your best bet is to package them up and stick them on eBay... but don't expect fortunes.

Great, thanks for the quick replies. I'll put them on eBay as a job lot.
All seems to work ok, but the OM2 mirror seems to stick up when the shutter is pressed ( there is a click, then the viewfinder stays dark). The shutter isn't on B. Could this be due to the battery being dead or just a sticky mirror?
