Question about some older manual focus lens

[dbelcher269]

A couple years ago I ended up with a box of lens from a garage sale to get the one lens I wanted. I don't know a whole lot about photography but like to carry a cheap Canon DSLR to photograph wildlife while I hunt. I forgot about the box until recently. I know that some people like to use old lens and there is a market for them however small.

Two of them seem like they may be decent quality (according to quick google searches) but I don't have a ton of use for them. Hoping you guys could tell me if I could make a little money to fund other hobbies.

First is a Mamiya Sekor Macro C 80mm F/4 N that is in the original box with paperwork. Looks like it was used very little and from what I can see the glass and body are in great shape.

Second is a Vivitar Series 1 105mm f/2.5 1:1 Macro Lens that also looks to have seen very light use.

Again any thoughts to a real world good deal price on these lenses? Thanks for any help.

I cant help much but I have a Vivitar manual lens that hooks to an old Minolta that I have and if I did my part, I could get some nice, sharp photos. Cant speak for em all but mine I like alot. Its a 135mm prime lens.

The Mamiya is for one of their medium format cameras that uses 6X4.5 film (I believe that is a measure of centimeters). Several have been listed on eBay. Two of them sold recently, one for $50 (it was sold for parts) & one for $150. You have a very nice lens, that people still use today.

Vivitar Series 1 Lenses are high quality as well, especially the early ones. Vivitar made their lenses to fit the major camera makes. I can't tell what camera yours is made for, but it looks like Pentax. At the bottom somewhere, there should be a letter C (Cannon), PK (Pentax K-Mount), M (Minolta) or N (Nikon). It's probably worth about $150.

Both are decent lenses (assuming they're both in working order), much better than I would have ended up with, had I bought a boxful.
