Like some or many of you had or have fairly expensive cameras that took film that now sit in the closet. Probably they are worthless? Anyone still use film if you can still get it?
Do you just recycle it?

Top end name brand stuff from back in the day still has value especially fast prime manual focus lenses (i.e. F1.8 or lower, 85mm). The new Sony full frame bodies with internal image stabilization breathe new and amazing life back into old gear.
I've taken some phenomenal images with top end Nikon and Minolta lenses attached to the Sony a7ii series. The old lenses tend to be lower resolved than modern sensors (except old macro lenses) but afford character that is unique.
Got any old Minolta Rokkor lenses?
Check KEH.com for Market value as a function of condition.

I work in the Art Dept. at Normandale College.
We accept donated 35 mm film cameras, with a standard 50 mm or small zoom lens. If you donate camera equipment, our foundation office will give you a form, & the value of the donated items can then be deducted on your taxes. We then check over the cameras, perform any needed repairs, and then check them out for students to use in our darkroom & non-darkroom photography classes.
