Two items for sale or for trade to Nikon F mount lenses:

Olympus E-5 - reduced to $525 shipped

Bought here on this forum two years ago. This was my main camera for the whole time so it got dragged over three continents in the meantime and got quite a bit of use; but beyond cosmetic scars, scratches and missing port covers it is still mechanically and optically sound.

Let's go over the damage first:
- brassing on the bottom plate, other corners and protruding pieces, scratch on front near shutter release
- missing port covers on flash and power adapter sockets
- a web of tiny scratches on the LCD - none deep enough to interfere with viewing, just normal wear and tear (update January 7: the scratch shot was done in raking light with boosted contrast - I added two more shots of the screen in action to show that the scratches indeed have no impact on viewing)
- upper right corner of the rubber thumbrest starting to peel
- original larger eyecup was lost during a nighttime solo bushwack in the Caucasus Mountains, replaced with a smaller size eyecup
Good things:
- shutter count at 12950 - lots of life left
- comes with original Olympus battery and a clone battery, both in good condition
- comes with manual, body cap, Olympus strap, and charger & cord (sorry no box threw that out a while back during the many recent moves)
- will be carefully packed and quickly shipped

Long story short, good camera at a good price.

Olympus 11-22mm f2.8-3.5 - reduced to $250 shippped

Bought on this forum used a couple of years ago. Comes with front and rear caps, hood and bag. No scratches on glass, good cosmetic, optical and mechanical condition, although definitely not "like new". No box or warranty card.

Payment by PayPal. Price includes PayPal fees and shipping CONUS by regular mail or UPS ground. Shipping outside of the US is possible for members with good feedback here and at the extra cost of shipping (probably 20-30 dollars to most places). Local pickup in Denver area possible as well.

I have lots of positive feedback on this site and will be happy to answer questions or post additional pictures.

One final reduction on the e-5 to $525 shipped before the whole lot (e-5 / 11-22 plus Leica 25 in another thread) goes to KEH Tuesday morning.

I will be listening for offers here until Monday night.
