I have a collection of old cameras in the closet. I have upgraded through the years and just do not know what to do with them. Any Ideas?

Tina...Please don't throw them away !!!!!

Just a thought...but maybe you could donate them to a museum or something on that line.

George :)

P.S. better check some of them !!!

Just a thought. Ken Rockwell has a site where he reviews equipment. He is looking for equipment donations (no tax write off but states he will pay for shipping if he will take it). Here is the site if you are interested. It's a good place to pick up some good knowledge about photography as well.

Local high schools often have camera clubs if you're in the donating mood.

Not a bad idea, Bill but mine are film. I wonder if in the digital age they would want those

Sure, and they actually still teach darkroom techniques.

I will inquire at the school also. Maybe the camera club in town could help. I am not a memeber but maybe they have a use for them. No good to me in the closet.
Thanks for the ideas
