What film cameras are worth
What lifts the price
- A working light meter, which many buyers assume is dead
- Clean, fungus-free glass in any attached lens
What pulls it down
- Sticky or slow shutter speeds, common on cameras left unused for years
- Fungus or haze inside the lens, which is expensive to correct
Working out what yours is worth
- Fire the shutter at every speed and listen for ones that hang
- Open the back and check whether the light seals are still supple
Getting it ready
- Fire the shutter at every speed and listen — slow speeds sticking is the classic fault on stored film cameras.
- Put a fresh battery in if it has a meter, and check the meter responds to changing light.

Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
