How much is my Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8G worth?

So I may be about to sell my 50mm lens to switch to the Sony system and I wanted to know how much I would get for it.  Currency is €

Going for the Sony a6000 Body + SEL50F18 OSS + (SEL16F28 later on)

 

Or should I buy a D3200 and use it with my existing lens?

 

Edit: I think I'm gonna wait for the a7000 which is supposed to be coming this year.

Aren't Nikon F adapters VERY expensive?

depends on it, the metabone(with AF etc) cost €400-€500, which is basicly the best you can get, cheaper ones(without AF) can vary form €50(small metal ring) to roughly 100-150 euro max(mount with tripod attachment) but since it appears sony glass is shit(simply said) it's quite expensive at the start, but when you build out on your lenses it saves you more and more.

May the light have your back and your ISO low.

they can become quite expensive and even the $400 ones have slow autofocus. Not suitable for any action shooting.

I bought 35mm 1.8G for £130.

Looks like u already made your mind and go with Sony but I just wanted to say: D3300 > D3200

130 or so would be my guess.

well one thing is you 50mm 1.8G isnt worth money, you might be able to get like $100-150USD, so i recommend you just either buy a cheap japan made mount(aprox.$20-30) and get a 75mm focal length, or sell it.
