I'm going another direction, so I'm selling off most of my Camera rig. I wanted to post it here first, as everyone has been so encouraging and I know we have a lot of P&S shooters in SoCal. This is a great opportunity to upgrade to a DSLR and save some casheesh.

Here's what's I got:

Nikon D70 Body - very good condition (heck, its spent most of its life in a plastic box!) - LCD is pristine, never dropped, never flooded, etc. Comes in original box with all accessories, battery, charger, manuals, etc.

Lexar 512 40X CF Card - in RAW + JPG you can get about 75 - 80 shots on the card. In High Rez JPG, about 140 - 150 shots on it. Its a fine card

Ikelite 60 mm Port w/ Focus - this port (#5506) is almost new. These ports with the manual focus are very expensive because they are very flexible. Comes with focus ring and brand new Neo Port cover

Ikelite D70 TTL Housing - this is my baby. Its been pampered for the last 16 months I've had it. The front of this housing, as in the complete front section was replaced by Ikelite in November - just a few months ago. Four weeks ago Ikelite replaced the electronics, bulkhead and O-ring on the back of the housing. I sent the unit to Ikelite because the electronics were funny - and the REPLACED THEM. I love those guys. I've had it on two trips since the electronics replacement and checkout by Ikelite, and its never performed better.

REVIEW: Front of housing NEW in November. Electronics and Bulkhead (where you attach the strobe cord) NEW 4 weeks ago. This housing is sweet and is functioning perfectly.

I'm also including a brand new O-ring for the Housing (so you have a spare) and some Ikelite Oring goop.

I'm not going to separate the items - I'd rather these go to someone who is upgrading to a DSLR. All you need to add is a 60mm lens and the strobe(s) you probably already have, you're ready to roll.


I have pics available. PM me if you're interested and I'll send over pics and pricing.

Thanks!

Someone will get a nice package.

Somehow I doubt it. If he does, we'll laugh at him and he will look like a dork!

I have a CF card reader I'm tossing in, as well as at least one spare Batt. I may have another spare batt... gotta look around. But you'll get at least TWO Nikon batteries with this cam.

I need to go through my Photo Box - I'm sure I'll find some more odds and ends to make your foray into DSLR more fun.

Thanks for all the PM's.

So does this mean no more of your incredible pictures?! :(
 
Very tempting, but between my 21w Salvo and a new CLX450 on the way, I'm beyond tapped out. I'll have to wait longer to explore my DSLR options...
 
how much r u selling the D70 housing for? Extremely interested
