Oh, how the mighty are fallen!! Yesterday I spent a great deal of time and energy trying to defend my use of zooms against the dreaded Visigoths of prime lenses (:-)). Today, due to a family emergency, I am forced to sell my equipment in order to raise some ready cash.
Thought I’d give the users of this list first shot before I put them on the infamous eBay. (Although after yesterday’s thread I’m not sure just how much interest there will be here for my zooms! ;-) ) Up for sale are: NEW MZ-S body with BG-10 battery grip > Both were purchased at the end of August, the camera from Beach Camera, the battery grip from Adorama. Both will come in their original boxes and the MZ-S has a blank warranty card. I ’m asking $800 for BOTH. (BTW – this body is one of the later ones with the serial # beginning 478XXXX. I’ve not had ANY of the problems talked about on this list – frame overlap, meter problems, mirror lock up, etc.) Mint Tokina AT-X af Pro 20-25 f2.8 zoom > purchased 8/22/01 from Camera world for $650 this lens for all intent is new, having been on my camera less than a half dozen times. It will come in its original box with all included paperwork (I’ll send my registered warranty card), lens case, caps, etc. I’m asking $400 for this one. Mint Tokina AT-X af Pro II 28-70 f2.6-2.8 zoom > this has been my normal lens and has seen the most use but is in absolute MINT condition. I’m asking $275 for this one and it, too, will come in its original packaging with all original accessories. Mint Tokina AT-X af Pro 80-200 f2.8 zoom > this baby is a fantastic zoom. In absolutely mint condition I’ve had it for about 9 months and it’s in PERFECT condition. It will also come with all its original packaging and equipment. I need $375 for this one. Mint Sigma 105 f2.8 EX macro > if you’re into macro photography this is the lens to have. Not only is it a great short tele/portrait lens, it’s one of the few on the market that will let you go 1:1 on your film with no accessories. It is tack sharp whether at macro or at 105mm! This one is as new and will, as all others, include all original packaging and materials. I need $200 for this one. I would ask that any buyer be willing to pay $10 towards USPS priority insured shipping in the CONUS, $15 to Canada (sorry, I can only ship to the US or Canada). I will accept cashier’s checks, money orders or Pay Pal. If you have questions or want to make a purchase, you can contact me off list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> . Again, all this equipment is in like NEW condition and will come to you just like it came from the original supplier. If you’re interested in anything I need to hear from you soon. I’ll be out of touch between the 12th and 21st of November and anything not sold by the 12th will end up on eBay. My heart’s breaking at having to give up this equipment but family needs take priority over personal pleasure. My loss will, hopefully, be your gain!
