This is a bit of a long shot but are there any photographers or people with a good knowledge of photography equipment fairly local to me that would be willing to have a look through a couple of boxes of bits we picked up in a house clearance , there are a couple of cameras some lenses and filters and lots of other stuff i havent got a clue about , i have got an idea some of it would be to do with developing pictures.

Why don't you spread them out and photograph them John, probably a lot on here that know a bit but too far away. You may even sell some of it, lot of closet photographers about

Probably the best idea to get some answers.

I'd be happy to help but I'm a bit too far away - could possibly meet halfway though if there is no one nearer.

To start with you could name the big stuff - cameras and lenses etc, that will give us a clue to the type and age of the equipment.

If there's any leica digital stuff then it ain't worth a light John, just chuck it in a box and post it to me Or I'll collect as I'm so good natured
