Zeiss Icarex 35-BM collection

[yankee466]

I'm new to this board, so I do not know if there have been much discussions on this camera line before.

I basically just inherited a collection of Icarex BM bodies(3) and every single lens, accessory that they ever made for these bayonet mount cameras. Lens, all Zeiss originals, run from 35 -50(Ultron)-90-135-200-400(massive by the way). There are close up attachments, every filter made, and assorted "stuff" that fits. All appear to be in excellent working condition.

I was wondering if anyone knew of the market for these products. I hate to throw things on e-bay or selling them to a used camera store and get pennies on the dollar....so I thought maybe some one on this forum would have knowledge of these products or may be interested. I am in Atlanta, GA.

I grew up with these cameras and loved them....but of course one has to have an appreciation for what an f-stop really means to properly use this equipment.

thanks

These all sell for good prices on eBay, but I think most people on forums get tired of answering, "How much is my gear worth?" questions from people who are then never heard from again.

In any case, the cameras sell in the $125+ range, and the lenses should bring in plenty of money, too.

Keep them and get to know what an f-stop means!

Thanks......sorry for the question then.

I meant that the camera was not fully automatic....not that I did not know what an f-stop was. I earned my photography merit badge long ago.
