Need some help with some old camera equipment
Discussion
Hi all
I am looking for some help with some old camera equipment. My grandad passed away a couple of months ago and in sorting though his possessions it turns out he had an interest in photography. I am not sure if these things are of any interest to a collector, or if they are just old and would be best stuck on Ebay. I am not looking to profit from these items, I'd just be interested to learn a bit more about them and see them go to a good home. Can anyone help?

The Coronet is maybe worth £5-25 depending on how good it is and how lucky you are, it's probably better off as one big lot to be honest but there are loads of them on ebay from people just like you clearing stuff out.
It doesn't really help that none of it is a huge amount of use so they are ornaments more than anything else.
The Agfa is much the same story.
The Exa camera is quite nice, with a bit of TLC there is probably a nice user there, it's worth very little but I suspect would take nice photos, find the right hipster and you should sell that.
The exposure meters also aren't worth much, but I collect weston masters and it appears you have a couple there, looks like a 2 and a 5, I'd possibly take them off your hands for a few quid and give them a good home, especially if there is an invercone in among the stuff (looks like a white roundish bit of plastic that fits in the back of the meter) however again I'm afraid your not talking much cash.
