i'm not really sure whether it's still in working conditions or not. kyocero 28-80mm Macro lens might be still in working condition but i'm not sure whether it's mouldy or what. any place to find out? if not i will be keeping it or using it as paperweight as what espn said =.=

Perhaps you could post some photos so we can identify them?

Yah, you never know
One of them may be a Hongchi (China made)
I have heard mint Hongchi is now worth about ½ Million Sing$.

Rich billionaires in China now collecting. Extremely rare.

Sorry for the really poor quality of pictures. it's taken with my motorol v3 . and i don't have my camera with me right now =( . waiting for espn to sponser me one

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that looks like a regular production cam.

Perhaps you could try Cash Converter, The Camera Workshop or any of the 2nd hand dealers at/ard Peninsula area? But be prepared for a very very low price.

Alternatively, e-bay might bring you better luck! Someone in another country might want it badly enough to pay a better price!

o_o really? my auntie bought one for like one thousand+ lol but not sure how long ago. alright. penisular plaza? i don't think cash convertors accept lenses or cameras that are not in working conditions right? thanks for your help anyway =)

I think before u put them up for sale, u have to service/clean/repair them first, right? Be prepared for high servicing fees, depending on how bad the condition is. If the mould has been there for some time already, then I think ... well, better ask the experts at the workshop
