Keep one of them to use because your camera is super blurry.

SLR = Single Reflex Lens. Most of the "amazing" photos that Anthony, Mad, etc... take are done with DLSRs = Digital " "

Only difference is you use actual film with these.

Price them out on the internet...google,ebay, cl, etc and then see if you can get some money out of them. (Assuming they are not something she wants to keep)

Very nice SLR cameras from when I was a kid. I seem to remember Agfa as being an expensive brand name (German?). Is that a Vivitar flash unit?

Oh wow, I had one of these so that I could play CDs in my Omni with my portable Sony CD player back around '84.

I'm not sure how much most of that stuff goes for, but i do know that the 50mm lens on the Olympus OM is about 60-80 new depending on where you buy it..

Do you know if those big lenses fit on that Olympus????

This.

Search for the model # on eBay and see what they are selling for. That'll give you an idea of whether it's worth it to sell or pitch it.

Yes it is a vivitar flash module.

im not sure if those lenses fit on the olympus but i can definately try when i get home as too how im taking them off im not quite sure lol.

would you happen to know where the model number is on this camera i took a quick peek and didnt really see it at all

well never mind the biggest lens adapter i know fits the middle one i tried quick and was having a hard time but ill double check when i get home. i know the small one fits the olympus

they all fit except the longest one however they are miscellanious parts int he bag some look like adapters cords ect. Im sure it fits im just not sure how lol

so yes they fit the olympus

They aren't worth a thing. Send them to me and I'll properly dispose of the

The Olympus should be worth a few bucks. It's only really useful to a photog person since it's a completely manual film SLR (single lens reflux). You can always learn. A simple photography class should get you started. The local community college should offer that.

If the Olympus is an OM1 then it's a premium piece. My dad has one he bought in the 70s. I currently have a Canon FL that dates to the mid to late 60s.

The cassette adapter is only worth something if you have a tape deck, and don't have a way to plug in a portable CD player/MP3. Even then, the sound quality can be sketchy, depending on how well it seats against the heads.

How much would you be willing to sell those lenses for??

Post by **racer12306** » Thu May 27, 2010 1:55 pm

Make sure old olympus lenses fit new olympus bodies. I know Canon made a change to a different mount and I would only assume that Olympus did the same at some point in history.

They have adapters that connect OM lenses to the new E Series bodies...

Yeah Olympus did it too with the electronic lenses.. i can uses lenses made for the OM series, but I lose the auto focus.. I rather manually focus them anyway..
