For Sale FS: Extensive Nikon Kit (F3 + FM2n + Lenses)

[agphotography]

I'm looking to sell my entire Nikon kit (ideally as a bundle if possible) to a new owner. Everything works wonderfully.
Here's everything I have:

FM2n body - great cosmetics and minor brassing on edges, works beautifully and the meter is spot on. - $250
F3 Body + MD-4 - great cosmetics (like the FM2n), everything works except the mechanical shutter release and the LCD illumination. - $150
Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 AI - with caps and lens hood, slight dent in filter ring and lens hood, but functionally perfect with beautiful glass - $180
Nikkor 50mm f/2 AI - Excellent condition, with caps and lens hood, very sharp lens, quite enjoyable to shoot with. - $60
Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 Micro AI-S - with caps, extremely sharp lens - $180
Nikkor 105mm f/2.5 AI-S with caps, and an extra hood (has built in slide out hood) - $200

Everything is in excellent working order, and I honestly have loved this kit, but as I mentioned I simply have too much gear right now and I'm looking to scale back. I would ideally prefer to sell as a kit, but if not I'll entertain offers. My package asking price is based on finished eBay auctions and webstores like B&H / KEH / Adorama.

If possible, I would like to net around $1k for everything (or as close to that as possible). I have to fund a different gear purchase for a trip coming up very soon this summer (mid-June) so the sooner I can sell, the better.

Please PM me if you have any questions!

Just FYI, when trying to view the photos Flickr says they are private.

Well that's embarrassing (novice error)... I'll have a better solution shortly.
Can you at least see them in the thread? Or are they all blank?

Here's a dropbox link with a .zip file containing all the photos.

Correction, sort of: viewing on my desktop thru the web page they work fine. Using Tapatalk forum reader with iphone or iPad I see thumbnails in the thread but when clicking the images get that private message. So it seems a Tapatalk access issue but I view other threads with Flickr images using Tapatalk with no problem. Strange. Sorry for the semi-false alarm.

50mm f/2 has been sold.

 

[agphotography]

FM2n body has been sold.

 

[agphotography]

55mm is sold pending payment.

If you are interested in both the 24 and 105 I will sell them together for $300. If you are also interested in the F3 I will sell them all together for $400.

Not to interrupt but if you subtract the MD-4 and 105 AIS, this is exactly my Nikon "kit". I love it.

 

[agphotography]

Would you like a backup? Hehe.
It does work wonderfully. I preferred the F3's handling and viewfinder over the FM2n (though that worked well in the short time I had it).
The 24 has been such a great lens, I usually had that on one body and the 50mm f/2 on the other.

 

[NedL]

( FM2n is the backup, at least in a way: I keep it loaded with 400 for a "grab and go" camera for when it's too late for 100 handheld in with my F3 )

I like the F3's viewfinder better too. I've only had my FM2n for a short while, but it feels wonderful and natural in my hands, so I definitely love them both. I too love my 24mm AIS, it's my favorite lens. I hope whoever buys your remaining cameras has as much fun with them as I am.

 

[agphotography]

I agree, the FM2n was a great second camera to my F3.
I don't know if I mentioned this in the ad (don't think so) but I chose to liquidate my SLR equipment because the reality was that for 35mm film my needs are met by my Hexar AF and Yashica Electro. Simple cameras, but for how I shoot 35mm they are perfect. I am not a collector, and when I find myself with an abundance of "surplus" camera equipment I go through purging phases to remind myself that I am indeed NOT a collector.

I started with the F3 and a 50mm and it just spiraled out of control so quickly because I wanted all these extra bits and pieces.

Anyways, you all know how great these cameras are, same with the lenses, and I do hope that this all finds a good home and quickly too. I am definitely open to offers because in order to proceed with the piece of equipment I actually DO need for my trip this June I have to sell the rest of this gear first.

Thanks everyone!

Price Reductions:

F3 + MD-4 (sorry it's gotta go with it, I basically got it for free, I'm not factoring this in the price) $125
24mm - $150
105mm - $150

 

[agphotography]

If you purchase the remaining bundle I will throw in a like new Think Tank Sub Urban Disguise 10 shoulder bag with the gear.

 

[agphotography]

105 was just sold. The F3 and 24mm are still available.

 

[agphotography]

Busy day! The F3 has sold. 24mm still available. Let's get this gem a new home!

 

[agphotography]

It's been asked by a couple folks and I just wanted to clarify the condition of the 24mm. The dent in the filter thread is extremely minor. So minor that it wasn't disclosed to me when I originally bought the lens. You can still mount filters and the HN-1 hood without any trouble at all. The lens functions perfectly in all ways.

AAAAAANDDD SOLD.
