Just bought a ob lot of Canon stuff advice needed

[Vettahead]

Hi all, was trawling gumtree yesterday and found a job lot of lenses, flashes and filters along with an old 650 film camera.

I was intrigued with the lenses (with being able to fit my 40d) so went over and got the lot for 50 quid, now i'm not sure if these are junk or worth keeping. The guy who had them really looked after the stuff, its all mint. any of you guys know anything about this stuff? heres what I got


1 canon 650 film camera - mint inc manuals

2 A canon speedlite 430 ez

3 Canon EF 35 -70 3.5 - 4.5

4 Canon EF 35 - 105 3.5 - 4.5

5. Canon EF 28 - 70 3.5 - 4.5 mk 2

6. bunch of sky and uv filters (jessops?)


if the camera worth using? ifso what am i looking for fault wise, it is immaculate though. can i can get some film for it.

Now the above are metal mounts and, while noisy when focusing all are fully functional. (not had chance to actually test them at taking pics yet though
any of these keepers or have I pushed pennies down the drain.?

the flash works but not in auto - im hoping i can use this to wirelessly trigger my nissin di886 - is this possible?

thanks for reading.

Sorry can't help mate, but you're more likely to get a reply if you post this in the equipment section

Looks a bargain to me!

You didn't overpay, at least. The 650 and flash (which isn't compatible with digital bodies) have very little value these days. The 35-70 and 35-105 are just mediocre kit lenses from old film cameras and don't sell for a huge amount even on eBay.

The 28-70 is a slightly better lens, and the only one worth hanging onto. Still not worth a fortune, seen them on eBay for £40-£60.
