I second KEH as the Rusty of used cameras. I recently sold my Leica collection to them - they were the only cameras that I have that they were interested in. Certainly not the Nikon F, F2, F3's. I kept the Hasselblad 500c because I really like the fine mechanical action and the way all the parts go together. The view cameras are also mostly worthless - anyone want an 8"x10" Linhof rail view camera with lots of accessories? It was a really high end camera, back in the day . . .
