I wish to sell my olympus OM1n it has a variety of lenses. It's in very good condition. can you give me some idea of the price

I'll give you $500 for it...best to check bluebook.com. be honest about the condition and it is usually right for the selling price. Also check Craiglist.com for your city, type in your info for wanting to buy. This will give you a better asking price for where you live.

Is it possible yes, is it recommended no. Lenses are full of little tiny precise parts that are difficult to assemble. The smuges you see are probably mildew. This will eat into the coating on the lens. Hanimex was a an importer based in Australia. They did not manufacture lenses themselves. I have used many legacy lenses on Olympus cameras, Hanimex and others. As a general rule I found these lenses did OK as a macro but only average in general use.

Vivitar makes lenses with a variety of mounts. Lenses with the Pentax K-mount can be used on the K1000, lenses with other mounts can not.

Olympus lenses will not mount onto a Pentax camera.

You can sell the lenses, give them to someone with the appropriate camera(s), or use them as paperweights.

Apparently the olympus fe250 started around $250-$300.

You want a price for now?

I just checked eBay, nobody's selling this thing.

It must be a good one.

Prices vary worldwide, and you haven't stated where you are nor which currency.

Also, the camera you refer to is a long discontinued model, so if it's new and in a shop you should haggle hard for a discount.

If you're asking what your used camera is worth, then it;'s impossible to give an answer. Condition is everything, and it's best to have the original box and all accessories. Even then, it's only worth what someone will pay for it on the day that you sell it.

As a guide, on eBay in the UK a good and fully functional example without the box and accessories tends to sell for about £60 although one recently went for almost £100. Expect those prices to be slightly lower in the USA, a lot lower in the Far East and slightly higher in mainland Europe.

The camera itself uses standard 35mm film. You choose the "film speed" according to what you intend to use the camera for, but ISO200 is easy to obtain and good for most things.

The Dakota RZ-2000 is simply awful. It's a very cheaply made design and suffers from really poor build quality and has dreadful, image-blurring and very noisy mirror slap. Th lenses it was originally supplied with were also of inferior quality. I personally wouldn't buy it at any price, but it's certainly not worth $80 when better quality, major name (but older) 35mm models are now effectively often worthless and can be obtained for nothing on FreeCycle and Freegle. I get all of my 35mm equipment from there. Recently I've even had perfect, boxed and near-unused Nikon and Canon Autofocus models, but I personally prefer the older manual focus SLR's such as the excellent Olympus OM1n.

Hello till1118, I would suggest picking up a copy of Shutterbug magazine. This lists new and used lenses for many styles of cameras and you might be able to find a mail-order bargain. A website I use many times for photo purchases is www.KEH.com or www.eBay.com. You'll find other lenses out there from secondary manufacturers for half the price. Good luck.

If you have never done it before, better not try.
The lens is a very precise set of lenses, all adjusted to the exact distance at the factory.
Taking apart such a lens will more than likely cause more problems than you can imagine. First off, you need special wrenches in able to remove the retainers for each lens.

Best left to a professional.
Possibly you could sell the lens on someplace such as Ebay and find youself a good one like it at a pretty good price.

Hi Fredher,

Your wife has many lens choices for her camera.
Her camera is called the Four Third Camera.
You can use lenses made by Leica, Olympus, Panasonic and Sigma.
Also, can use older OM lenses for the Four Third, but you will need an adapter for it. Adapter can be purchased from Olympus.

Leica, Olympus and Panasonic make Four Third Cameras and lenses.

Sigma makes lenses for Four Third, too. .
You just have to tell them that you have a Four Third camera.

Try to sell that 40-150 lenses. Then buy the 50-200/2.8-3.5 SWD. If you got the money, buy the 90-250/2.8 from Olympus.
This will give you the reach for sports without getting run over.

50-200 is equal to 100-400mm
90-250 is equal to 180-500mm.

Just to get a 500mm/F2.8 on a 35mm camera will hit you over $12,000.00 USD.

If cost is a factor, then buy the Sigma APO 70-200/2.8 II EX DG Marco HSM.

70-200 = 140 to 400mm

To get a 400/2.8 will cost you $9,000.00 on a 35mm camera.

All lenses above all made for the working pros.

Hope they are helpful.
