OT; I got a Nikon camera....
 

Having a clear out & found a couple of old Nikon cameras; a TW Zoom
35-70 and an AF230.

They seem to have little or no value on E Bay, but I don't want to bin them.

Any use to anyone here - just for the postage?

Have you tried Freecycle/Freegle (whichever one operates in your area)?

There are 2 things you can do with them if you want
- use a lens assembly to get you macro shots, if you've got a cam that
doesnt already do them
- take out lens elements to make telephoto lenses, closeup lenses,
wideangles, bokeh lenses etc
- both to use with a digicam

As these thing turn up on car boots regularly perhaps you might add
that idea to the wiki?

Perhaps. Does it count as diy? For photographing work? I guess so,
wiki needs pictures after all. OK, I'll add it at some point, plus
some other tips & tricks.
