I need to cull the lenses I don’t like. Right now I just put them in a box. I could take them to Goodwill so someone else can not like them.

I’d have to look and see but I doubt it. Mostly off brand lenses that came as part of a bundle that contained a lens I wanted. Probably not worth the cost to ship.
I’ll have to dig them out and see what’s what.

certainly won't be in the immediate future I know that.

The K f1.8, or K f2, optically the same, gives excellent sharpness and colour rendition, great build quality and can be picked up at a very good price. Paid under £100 for my f1.8, but that included a fully functional KX film camera!. No reason not to get one really.

I urge that Pepperberry Farm's suggestion be considered strongly

although the items may not be worth much, for someone beginning in photography good " experienced " equipment might be very helpful

if there is no interest, then Goodwill is a excellent choice

IMHO, YMMV

Good point. No interest selling them, but if it might help someone out I’d put them out there for the shipping cost.
Some of them might be of interest to others. An Adaptall 103A w/Canon mount for example. I already have a 103A, and no Canon cameras. So it’s of no use to me.

Soon as I get a chance I’ll post a few in the Market Place

Thanks, glad you like it. Mill Creek is part of a larger network of streams running through the Dallas-Ft Worth (Texas) metroplex. It may look wild, but it's actually very close to town. Lots of opportunities for birders (sadly, that's not me), and I see quite a few photogs out there with the big lenses. Lots of owls nest in the area as well. I usually go there during the week when its not so busy. Here's a link with quite a few photos: Colleyville Nature Center At Mill Creek - Colleyville, Texas - Playground, Sports & Recreation | Facebook

I've accumulated quite a few photos from my many visits to the place. If interested, take a look: https://www.flickr.com/photos/pvh_photo/albums/72157666499917423
