Yes, I know this is a KB forum, BUT ... I've seen posts from time to time where people have talked about photography, so I thought I would post this.
I am looking to sell my Nikon FE2 35mm SLR camera and lenses, and a couple of lenses for my Nikon D3300. I am looking to purchase an all purpose 28-300mm ZOOM lens for the D3300.
Here's what I am looking to sell:

Nikon FE2 35mm Camera (metal body)
Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm 1:1.4 lens
Nikon AF Nikkor 28-200mm 1.35:5.6D lens
Vivitar 28-210mm 1:3.5-5.6 lens

Lenses for D3300:
Nikon DX VR AF-S NIKKOR 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 GII
Nikon DX VR AF-S NIKKOR 55-200mm 1:4-5.6 GII ED

If any interest, please PM me, or email tonymadalonemusic@gmail.com

Tony, I ended giving all my 35mm cameras and lenses away to the local college. Gave them my entire dark room as well. Do they still make 35mm film? I went to digital more than 30 years ago when it first became available.

Good luck,

Gary

Cell phones have ruined the photography hobby..

Sadly, that is oh so true. I needed an accessory that could be found in any camera store, but when I tried to find one I discovered that there wasn't one within a 30 mile radius of me. Ended up having to order it from Amazon. I have PRIME and I feel so guilty when they show up at my door next day with a tiny package of something that costs $6.95. Oh well, I order a lot so I guess it evens out.

The problem is that cell phone cameras have gotten so good. I paid @ $500.00 for my new GoPro Hero 8 Black and a couple of accessories and extra battery. I just saw a comparison of my GoPro vs the new IPhone camera in a variety of situations. The iPhone held it's own and in some cases looked better than my action cam. Of course, it couldn't compete in terms of ruggedness but then the GoPro couldn't compete in terms of handiness (the phone is always with you). However, if I'd seen that comparison first, I'm not sure I'd have bought the GoPro (I'm not a surfer, skier, cliff diver, or motocross rider). In any case, it's a niche product. Consumer-grade cameras are definitely on a death spiral due to cell phones. Donny, you're right again; what's that, twice in one day. Wow!

Gary, I went digital also, just never got rid of the SLR ...

Donny, not really ... "Photographers" still use cameras ...

Obviously, I was answering the same time as chas ...
My point is, that while cell phone cameras can be great, you do not see a photographer shooting a wedding or other social event with a phone camera ...

Hang in there, Tony:

Digital is not dead yet... as a result of Cell Phones.

Or maybe increased the popularity of taking photos. I read somewhere that the best camera you have is the one you have WITH YOU.

Tony I mentioned armature habbiests...not pros..

Plus one here. I’m not a pro either but a serious hobbyist phototgrapher. What the great cameras in cell phones did was kill the so called “point and shoot market.” I still have 2 Canon DSLRs an assortment of lenses and also Fuji Mirrorless. If I’m shooting to make a large photo enlargement for a wall decoration gotta use the Canons or the Fuji.

OK, Donny, but I'm really just a hobbyist, but when we travel, or if I'm going out to look for a scene I would like to paint, I take my camera ...
