Hi folks.

Been offered a Canon AL-1 with FD 50mm f1.8 lens with power winder.

Vivitar 28mm f2.8 MC wide angle.

Vivitar 75-205mm f3.8 MC macro focusing zoom is push pull.

Vivitar MC 75-205mm 2X matched multiplier.

Tamron 80-210mm f3.8-4 CF tele macro.

Tamron 38-100 f3.5-4 macro.

Cokin filters plus P holder.

All in a Hama bag.

Question what is this little lot worth, been asked to make a offer. Not sure about taking on another camera. Lenses wont fit my 7D.

Already bought a Mamiya 6x9 to go back to film a few months back.

Thanks for any replies / remarks.

A reasonable offer would be in the region of £50 -£70
The only lenses worth anything are the Canon 50mm and the Vivitar 28mm.
AL-1 around about £20 in good condition.
The other lenses could probably be picked up for about £1 to £5.
I'm not sure about the Vivitar zoom and TC. Vivitar didn't make lenses themselves, but rather bought them in. If it was made by Kiron that would be good, but the value would still be low.
 
I was always curious about the AL-1 with its 'Quick Focus' mechanism (a precursor to Auto-Focus) - been tempted to buy one more than once since, but I have too many FD cameras already :lol:

Watch out for the battery door on the front. More often than not it's broken and probably held on with gaffer tape. :)
 
Thanks for your replies.

Battery door is fine not broken or marked.
