Used camera kit:
Olympus E-3 Pro Body (10mp) ($550, $1,200 new): Good condition, but with visible wear marks and one scratch on the upper 1/3 of the LCD. Just went over 10,000 shutter releases on the my trip through the Silk Road. This camera was lovingly used, but was used in harsh environments. However, that is exactly what this camera is designed for, and few bodies have the same dust and weather sealing as the E-3. Includes additional battery, charger, and accessories delivered in box.
I have all the original boxes.
I will also consider selling the following:
12-60mm Pro Lens: F2.8-4 ($400, $800 new)- Good condition with one small knick on the lens. Obviously, the knick greatly reduces the value of the lens, but I never stopped shooting with it, and hundreds of those images are now in print. No hood.
9-18mm Pro Lens: F4-5.6 ($300, $700 new)- Good condition, but with small scratches on the coating (none deep enough to affect glass).
Unfortunately, these two lenses received scratches in Nicaragua in a single 3-minute climb into a bat cave. I have shot with these lenses since and have not found artifacts on images, etc.
Shutter Release for E-3: $30 (will only sell with body).
PACKAGE PRICE: Body, two lenses, two 4-gig CF cards, two batteries, shutter release and camera bag: $1,200 and free shipping.
