This is the P5 I purchased on eBay for its front grip, since my P5 was lacking one. It was advertised as not working, even with batteries installed, so I bought it as a potential parts body. It turned out to be in excellent shape and working fine -- the batteries the previous owner had put in were just very weak -- just enough voltage to light up the shutter speed indicators, but not enough to release the shutter. It works fine with new batteries, and I've had them in for a few months, so I know it's not draining batteries, either.

This P5 is in excellent condition with just a few slight rub marks from what may have been very occasional use. Since I took off its front finger grip, I'll include an ME II winder, which replaces the front grip anyway when in use and gives the camera a more ergonomic feel, preferred by many and definitely better with larger/heavier lenses. The winder is in EX condition.

I'm also including an SMC-A 50mm f/1.7 as a freebie, or consider it as a functional body cap. The glass is actually excellent. It has that stiffening of the aperture ring, which means it works best if left on A.

$110 including shipping to addresses in the continental U.S.
