Well, the 50 1.7 is certainly worth $30, if it's in good nick. I liked the P5 (P50 here). It was my workhorse camera for quite a few years in the 1980s/90s. I always liked the look and feel of it. It had its limitations (no manual setting of ISO; no TTL flash; no manual shutter speed, so without batteries it was cactus) but, for what I was doing with it, those things weren't important to me. I still have it.
