Pentax ZX-5n QD 35mm SLR body. - Includes cable release (I bought it seperately). - Includes battery grip (I bought this seperately too). - Includes original box. - Includes instruction manual. - "QD" means this one has a date back.
It's gotten fairly average use; a couple rolls a week at peak times, a couple rolls a month on average, and a couple months of no shots at all. I've always taken good care of it. There is a little mottling of the finish on the top of the flash area, probably from the camera bag gently rubbing over the six years I've used the camera. That's pretty minimal, and probably to be expected of a camera that was actually used. ;) It should have many years to go, and I've never had the slightest trouble with it.
I'm selling because my *ist-DS has taken over my photography interests. I've thought a lot about it, because I really like the ZX-5n. It's one of those cameras that just feels right to someone who knows how a camera should work. When Pentax created it, they decided to design something that would be appreciated by people who want to get away from the "black box of gadgets" approach to photography. This camera is for the purists, who aren't quite pure enough to shun AF or P modes altogether. ;)
It doesn't come with any lenses, but that shouldn't be a problem for anyone here. It does come with a body cap, of course, and a strap.
Please email me off-list if you're interested, and I'll try to work with you to come up with a fair price. Pictures available on request.
