This is my old Ricoh 35mm SLR - 50mm 1.1.7 along with a 135mm telephoto lens- think it's Pentax bayonet and flash.

Still got a film in with three left - did take one and even after 20 years battery is still OK - just checked it isn't leaking and it isn't.

So what can I do with it - checked ebay a while ago and it doesn't seem worth the effort in selling it.

Sell it in eBay for a few quid, give it away, put it back in the cupboard or use it! I sold both my film SLR's recently as They were just adding to life's clutter!
 
Thank you, you brought back some happy memories.
No, I'm not talking about the camera. I haven't seen a date and time being displayed in the corner of the frame for ages <wipes tear from eye>
:D

Like all media of yesteryear - i think the film camera will make a comeback as vinyl has.

Keep it and wait for it to go up in value.

Film is already having it's comeback and popular cameras like the Olympus OM's have gone up significantly in the last 5 years! Less desirable setups like this are unlikely to see a significant rise in value!
 
I think it's pretty sexy. Stick it up on a shelf on display and keep it there for inspiration?
