What's this?

We’re downsizing; husband has 11 cameras. What’s the best thing to do...

with the 9 cameras he isn’t keeping? They range from Nikon F2 and F3 to Nikon D3, Nikon D800, and Samsung NX1. Naturally, he also has all sorts of lenses, filters, attachments, tripods. He has a large-format camera, a bellows, and a complete darkroom set with a good quality color enlarger. He will be keeping only his best digital camera and a Panasonic video camera. He wants to get rid of the rest but isn’t sure how to proceed. Everything is in excellent condition. We expect to have to pitch out the film cameras and the darkroom equipment, but what about the rest? Thanks in advance.

Note: Downsizing is a living Hades!

For the digital bodies, donation is best bet, they get obsolete really fast -- Synaesthesia 04/30/2021 09:28AM

Do not pitch out any of it. Donate to local community college photography -- PhotoHokieNC 04/30/2021 05:38AM

Will they want them, since you have to buy & develop 35mm film? ** -- EDGEMAN 04/30/2021 08:28AM

Uh, D800? That's a nice camera... -- `lag 04/29/2021 11:36PM

The rest had imagination and class? ** -- PhotoHokieNC 04/30/2021 05:39AM

Are you interested in selling any of the digital cameras? -- MP4VT2004 04/29/2021 9:33PM

We just talked for over an hour about what might work for a child... -- Mama Goose 05/01/2021 02:11AM

Thanks for your reply! I totally understand... -- MP4VT2004 05/01/2021 09:22AM

If you’d like, I could recommend an intervention organization to save -- PhotoHokieNC 04/30/2021 06:40AM

😂 If the hobby sticks more than a couple of months, I'll take you up. ** -- MP4VT2004 04/30/2021 08:20AM

I would start with an inexpensive digital camera -- EDGEMAN 04/30/2021 08:27AM

Yeah, that's my plan. Was just curious what the OP has. ** -- MP4VT2004 04/30/2021 08:29AM

Sell on Facebook marketplace ** -- Rinoki21 04/29/2021 9:23PM

NO! ** -- PhotoHokieNC 04/30/2021 05:39AM

What Spud said. And maybe a district with less resources. ** -- Femoyer Hokie 04/29/2021 8:41PM

Doing that myself. Ditto it sucks. ** -- HokieDan95 04/29/2021 8:34PM

Call your local school district and ask if they'd like them. They might... -- Spud 04/29/2021 8:32PM
