I believe I have one 200MM lens and a doubler which really requires that you be out in good light. The 26 power zoom of the Olympus which is the equivalent of I believe 225 MM in 35 MM lens is enough for me. I have to use the tripod or steady it on the car or something to stop any blur. I really liked those cameras and hate to see them just it in the bags. Maybe someday they will be the Shelby of Cobras. I wish!!

The DSLRs with their bigger sensors have advantages. One that comes in handy is being able to turn up the ISO speed without any real noticeable noise. My wife has a Fuji 9 Megapixel point and shoot. If you turn the ISO up to 1600, it goes so grainy with noise that the pictures are unusable. On my DSLR, I can go to ISO 8000 without any problems, but speeds higher than that do get noisy.

I also have some studio flash equipment (like umbrella flashes) that I occasionally used with my film SLR. They should still work with with my DSLR, but I have not had a chance to try them yet.

And I don't think you are going to make any money off of your old film SLR equipment unless you have some stuff that was rare or really expensive to begin with.
