Hi All,
An amazing thing happened on thursday evening. I was looking on Aukro (Czech Ebay equivelent) for some lenses and thought i would see what cameras people were selling, well to my suprise there was an E30 body which looked in mint condition.
I checked to see if there were any bids on it as i had just lost out on some other items i wanted as was a bit miffed but the item was a "buy now" only.
Well the adrenalin was pumping then i can tell you and i had to make a quick call to my wife (she was in England at the time) to see if she was in agreement.......she was :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:
So as she said "yeah, ok" i hit the buy now button.
It arrived today and came with an extra battery and a remote trigger and the good part is it was only 12650 CZK (about £422) inc postage. This is about half the price of a new body here except there are no new bodys here...!
The really good part is when i checked the shutter actuation count in the menu. It had 10953
its barely run in... fantastic !!!
Im very grateful to the woman who sold it and i even bought an Olympus backpack from her too so i can keep all my gear together. My wife says i have spent my camera allowance for this year :shocked:
I still cant believe i found a like new hardly used E30. So the E5 plan is probably scrubbed now and it will be HG lenses next year.
Im a happy camper now and will be learning the new layout and metering over the next few weeks. I love the viewfinder. It is perfect for my dodgy eyes and the lenses i have seem to focus faster too.
Im glad i didnt go to Nikon last year now.
Thanks
J :salute:
