$1750
Nikon 70-200 G VR II

Excellent exterior condition and in fine working order. Has several dust specks trapped between the front two elements and a few between the 2nd and 3rd. It hasn't been a problem for me although, admittedly, I wish they weren't there!
New: April 2010

$400 each
Nikon SB-900 Flash (4 available)

Excellent condition. Kept in cases when not in use. New: April 2010.

$375
Nikon SB-900 Flash

Small scuff mark. Works fine. Kept in cases when not in use. New: April 2010.

All items include box, all paperwork and accessories that originally came when I first purchased them.

All items are "US" except the 24mm which was an import purchased from B&H. From their website: "Items …imported and/or distributed by other entities and are warranted by B&H Photo-Video." Whether they will honor any warranty work from a second owner of a lens is not something I have investigated.

Regarding average shutter life check out this URL for info about the D3 shutter: http://www.olegkikin.com/shutterlife/nikon_d3.htm

Trade Options
I would be interested in a trade for the following:
Leica M 28mm Summicron ASPH (black)
Leica M 90mm Summicron APO ASPH (black)
Leica M9 (prefer black but won't rule out grey)

Even if you are not interested in any of the Nikon gear, if you have any of the Leica equipment listed and think you might want to sell, please let me know.

Offers are very much welcome, however, I may wait a few days to respond in order to give others a chance to find this listing and decide whether or not to purchase at the asking prices.

Prices include shipping via FedEx Ground or Home Delivery. Prices do not include PayPal fees. Please add 3% or use the "gift" option for the prices listed. Items will ship either the day of or day after payment clears to PayPal account.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Thank you for your interest and for looking!
 
Jeff...

Will you be using Leica for weddings? I'm looking to integrate my M8 with some of my wedding work where appropriate (and until I plunk down for an M9!)

Jason, yes, I was going to do this for the 2010 season and chickened out. The Nikon kit is simply fantastic for wedding photography but I really don't use it for anything else. Meanwhile, when I was shooting Leica I always had a camera with me for weddings, personal projects and everyday "snaps". I want that back!

I used the M8 a few seasons ago and had a blast doing so. I don't think it is a coincidence that the couples who I used more Leica digital & film with tend to be the ones who refer me the most. They don't necessarily care about Leica but they responded to the images and that's what counts.

:)

Anyway, have fun with it!

Thanks for the heads up! The link is fixed.

BTW, if you want additional references, eBay ID: wros.com

No, I don't own the domain name anymore but the eBay ID remains!

D3s w/35300 Shutter fires: $4400 shipped FedEx Ground / Home
D3s w/45300 Shutter fires: $4300 shipped FedEx Ground / Home

Thanks!
