The camera not worth much, the lenses may be worth something.

My Minolta XTSi brings about 30 bucks now, in excellent condition, but the lens in this picture is still worth over 200 bucks.

And for good reason.

That lens will make great pictures on a new Sony camera.

I’m in the same position with a Canon A-1. I’ve got lenses professionals paid dearly for in the 1980’s, that probably couldn’t be made today. There were rumors of someone making “digital backs” for these cameras, but I don’t think that’s going to happen.

I've a Nikon FM black body camera...........

I've 6 lenses that fit the body.

It's my understanding...that there is a digital Nikon...that will "take" those lenses. Not sure if that is true. Anyone know?
