For Sale SOLD - Pen FT Kit (4 lenses)

[Oldwino]

Up for sale my Pen FT kit, comprising of the camera in excellent condition, and four lenses : 25/2.8, 40/1.4, 100/3.5 & 150/4.

Camera works great, is very clean, with a clean viewfinder. Frame spacing is correct. The meter works, but I do not have the proper voltage battery to test accuracy. I was using it without the meter anyway. Camera includes the flash shoe attachment, and a nice every-ready case, also in excellent condition.

Lenses are also very clean, without haze or fungus, with smooth focus and aperture rings. The 25 & 40 were my most used. I think I used the 150 maybe once. The 25, 100 & 150 come with hard cases. The 100 has the original lens hood; the 150's hood is built in. I am missing one of the front caps. All of the lenses are amazingly sharp, and the 40 in particular has a really lovely rendering.

This is a wonderful travel camera, a small and compact kit. The camera itself is a work of art. Really ingenious design! And a pleasure to shoot.

Asking $675 net for the complete kit (not interested in parting it out). This includes USPS priority Mail to the US. USA sales only please.

I have an FT with the 40 1.4. The results are stunning. This gear is awesome. GLWS!

This is fantastic. If I recall, it's the same kit Daido Moriyama used for his iconic and very distinctive earlier work.

... and something Eugene Smith used to use.
Good luck with your sale !!

Y'all are making me second guess my decision to sell...

Well I’ll add to your indecision by adding my 4d, I love my Pen FT and the 40/1.4 and 70/2.0.
Diptychs, triptychs and panotychs anyone?

Excellent kit.

I have the Gothic F and a few lenses. I'm really interested in the flash shoe though...

I've seen so many broken eyepiece frames because of that flash shoe, so personally I'd avoid it.

Personally I wouldn't sell. Nothing feels like the Pen FT to use. The shutter release is so clean and crisp. The lenses are killer.

I use this adapter so the light meter works perfectly. Highly recommended:

Any solutions for mounting a flash?

Thanks for the link. Still have the goofy meter-numbers to deal with, but at least it would be accurate.

You get used to it real quick! I was surprised that my meter was spot on.
FYI I was recommended this adapter over the more expensive CRIS one. This one is much better finished.
