SOLD: Olympus PEN E-PL1, View Finder, Lenses!

SOLD!

I suspect this will make a great holiday gift - that someone will buy for themselves!

I took a trip to Japan recently for my real job (i.e. not photography). I didn't lug along my Canon D-SLR gear, but soon after walking the streets of Tokyo, I couldn't bear being camera-less any longer! I knew I was on a collision course with the camera store.

At first, I saw a man on the street with an old, leather cased stereoscopic camera. We talked, and he also had a new-fangled Fuji digital that shot in 3D and had a 3D display to boot! I went to the Bic Camera (a huge camera outlet in Japan) near by but the picture quality of that Fuji just wasn't that great.

I'd always been curious about Micro 4/3, and after an hour or so of playing around with lenses and bodies I left the store the proud owner of an Olympus PEN E-PL1.

Then, two days later, a Lumix 45-200mm lens.

And the next day, the ridiculously priced but incredibly useful view finder attachment!

Now, back in the States, I've decided to liquidate. I had a blast with the micro four thirds gear, and I think it's great for traveling, but I just won't be using this enough to keep it. I've taken less than 300 photos with this camera! It's practically immaculate.

I have every little piece of packaging that the equipment came in, and it comes with a full international manufacturers warranty. (I even have the receipts in Japanese!) The printed manual included is in Japanese, but the menus on the camera I've already set to be in English, and you can download the English manual here.

Here's what I'm doing for pricing. I'm looking up the products on B&H (best deals anywhere) - and then taking off %30.

Sorry - I'm selling this as a set, so all or nothing. I have a PayPal account, and I have sold some pretty expensive gear here on DGrin in the past. I've been a SmugMug'er for over four years. I'll be shipping from Austin, TX, for shipping approximation purposes.

Now - on to the photos of the goods! (Taken with my iPhone)










Here's some full-size photos (and thumbs) taken with the camera while I was in Japan (EXIF included):

45-200
I'll take the 45-200 if you are willing to sell separately.

If you decide to split things up, I'm in for the viewfinder.

Haha- look at you guys...

Now, all I need is someone who wants just the camera and kit lens!

Thanks for your interest. I'm trying to keep things together, but we'll see...
