Clearing out my closet and hoping to find a home for a lot of my beautiful gear that unfortunately does not find a lot of use. All prices are NET to me (shipping+paypal extra).
1. Pentax Spotmeter V: SOLD
I bought this with the grand idea of getting into the Zone System before finally realizing that it was a whimsical purchase when I was going through my momentary Ansel Adams inspiration phase. Quite unfortunate that this literally never got used other than me inserting a battery into it.
I will let the pictures give you an idea of the condition: https://photos.app.goo.gl/8zsbk8oF4arzLYGe7. It's in solid shape and fully functional. I tested it today morning against my Nikon D500 spot meter and they agree almost exactly.
There is a small dent on the outer rim which I inherited from the previous owner.....never bothered me. I added on the Zone V sticker....didn't bother taking it off.
$100.
2. Bogen/Manfrotto 3021BPRO tripod:SOLD
Solid, solid tripod and my only workhorse during my early days of photography. Has seen 2 Alaska trips with me. I now have 2 other CF tripods and this baby is surplus for me.
All cosmetic blemishes can be seen here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ruXM7xEXVQFWdm8Q6
Works perfectly. The center column is nice in the sense that it can be mounted horizontally for macro work. The legs screws might need occasional tightening.
Per BHPhotovideo, this supports 13.3 lbs: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/217263-REG/Manfrotto_3021BPRO_3021BPRO_Tripod_Legs_Black.html
$60
3. Bogen 488RC0 Ball Head: SOLD
My original tripod head and a constant companion to the Bogen Tripod. Has several cosmetic blemishes from years of use, but is 100% functional. Ball rotation and panning is quite smooth.
There appears to be a partially broken piece on the underside of the head, but I never figured what that piece does and neither did it impede my usage in anyway.

Supports 17.6 lbs per BHPhoto: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/272989-REG/Manfrotto_488RC0_488RC0_Midi_Ball_Head.html
$40
4. Gitzo Brevete S.G.D.G. Heavy Duty Monopod SOLD
Not a whole lot to say: heavy duty made in France monopod. Perfectly functional with cosmetic flaws:

$50
5. Lowepro Dryzone Rover Photobackpack
Awesome backpack, but once again surplus to my needs as I have 3 other backpacks (I am out of control I know).
It has a fully proof Drypod: the zipper on mine has been finicky from Day 1 and now it doesn't zip properly. This is probably a super-easy fix, but I don't have the patience for it. I reached out to Lowepro USA and they pointed me to a replacement bladder which is $30 : https://www.manfrottospares.com/lowepro-dryzone-rover-parts.html
But I still feel that the zipper is an easy fix and the bladder itself is in great condition.
No other known issues. It's been of great service to me and you can see minor signs of use (dust etc.) : https://photos.app.goo.gl/fFrdZXvYUuUMEfar9
$60
6. Kiron MC7 2x Teleconverter for Nikon AI lenses. SOLD
Not a lot to add or say. This item is in great condition. No issues barring a few dust particles.
Comes with original Kiron case, but no caps.

$25
7. Bunch of different filters
All in good condition in cases.
Tiffen 55mm 81A : $5
Tiffen 67mm 81A: $10
Tiffen 77mm 81A : $15
Tiffen 77mm UV Protector: $5
or $30 for the whole lot.
