Any point trying to sell/exchange these lenses?

    I have three pretty cheap lenses....

    Nikkor AF-S DX Zoom 55-200mm f/4 5.6G ED
    Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.8D
    Nikkor 70-300mm f/4~f/5.6 G

    ....I barely use at all with my D40 and I was wondering if you knowledgable people think there's any point trying to use them in part exchange for a new lens in a Dublin shop? Would they yield so little I might as well keep them??

    I haven't decided yet what I'm going for, but it's likely to be a (painfully expensive) zoom.

    Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

    Why not keep them and get some use from them if/when you upgrade from the D40 in the future...then youwon't find yourself looking to re-buy these lenses again!

    Thanks Pete. You're probaby right, although for one reason or another I don't like the lenses, never enjoyed using them - although two were gifts so I shouldn't be so ungrateful!

    To get more use from the 50mm you could just buy a revers macro adaptor from ebay for about €10 to use the lens backwards for some cheap, good quality macro shots!

    I might be interested in the 55-200mm, depending on price. If you want, drop me a PM with a price.

    Mods, if selling/offering to buy is not allowed, then I apologise.

    It would be best to do any negotiations via PM.
