Where can I sell old photography equipment?

And when I say old, I mean old! I have a lot of lenses from my humble beginnings in film photography. I have Canon FD lenses, compatible with their A series of film SLRs, that I’m looking to get rid of.

Since you don’t indicate where you reside, I cannot give you anything area-specific.

One option is a camera show, where people buy, sell and trade their gear. One here in New Jersey is held on the second Sunday of every month, with schedule adjustments for holidays; the April show, for example, will be held on April 19 because of Easter on the 12th.

In addition to KEH, here are some other places to whom you may sell your gear:

B&H Photo (NYC) http://www.bhphotovideo.com

Adorama (NYC) http://www.adorama.com

Used Camera Buyer (Ashland, VA) http://www.usedcamerabuyer.com. This is a division of Shutterblade (http://www.shutterblade.com), which sells used gear on eBay.

I’ve sold gear to B&H, but not the others.

Conversely, I’ve bought Hasselblad stuff from Shutterblad via eBay, and have never been dissatisfied, nor have I had problems.

Another alternative would be to take the items to an eBay drop-off store, where they’ll help you with listing it, and they’ll cut you a check, less their fees, typically for about sixty cents on the dollar of the sale price.

There’s always the pawn shop route, too.

Panoramic Photography $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Panoramic photography is a technique of photography, using specialized equipment or software, that captures images with elongated fields of view. It is sometimes known as wide format photography. The term has also been applied to a photograph that is cropped to a relatively wide aspect ratio. While there is no formal division between wideangle and panoramic photography, wide angle normally refers to a type of lens, but this lens type does not necessarily image a panorama. An image made with an ultra wide angle fisheye lens covering the normal film frame of 1:1.33 is not automatically considered to be a panorama. An image showing a field of view approximating, or greater than, that of the human eye about 160 by 75 may be termed panoramic. This generally means it has an aspect ratio of 2:1 or larger, the image being at least twice as wide as its height. The resulting images take the form of a wide strip. Some panoramic images have aspect ratios of 4:1 and sometimes 10:1, covering fields of view of up to 360 degrees. Both the aspect ratio and coverage of field are important factors in defining a true panoramic image. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.
