Cleaning out my closet
I have some camera gear I'd like to sell and I thought I'd post it here. Have a look, if you're interested in any of these things please contact me via email. All my gear is well taken care of, since I have to buy my equipment with my own money... I take care of my stuff.
Since buying my D700 and putting my D300 into a backup position in my case, I won't be needing this fine camera. I've shot with this camera since Sept. 2005, it's very clean and well taken care of. I've got the box, charger and all the stuff that comes with it. I'm asking $1,575.00.
I have this really cool Nikon AF Fisheye 10.5mm f/2.8 G ED Lens. Asking $550.00 Very very clean, for sure.
This is a Nikon 12-24mm f/4 AF-S G ED Lens. This is a wonderful lens, very clean, box and case. Asking $750.00.
I also have a Nikon 85mm f/2.0 AI-S manual focus lens, well used, clean glass and very sharp. Asking $210.00. The other lens is a Nikon 180mm f/2.8 AI-S ED lens, clean glass and very very sharp. Asking $280.00. 
Nikon camera body, F3/w MD-4 motor drive. Well used, many portfolio images created with this one, few nicks but a wonderful camera. Asking $375.00.
Last item for now, Nikon camera body N90 Works just fine...$60.00I also have a complete darkroom system available. Bessler 4X5 enlarger with cold light, film stuff, lens, carriers, trays all of it. Let me know. DT
Joined Twitter not long ago. Not certain what I think of it.
One Really Fine Lens
Not long ago, I bought a very inexpensive lens for my camera kit. As you know, I shoot Nikon equipment and have done so since 1973. I bought the 50 mm f/1.8 lens for only $109.00, what a steal for such a fine lens.
I just love the shallow DOF this lens provides when shot wide open. These two shot where shot for the annual report referenced on an earlier post.
I might as well add an additional shot using this lens. Just look at the bokeh that this lens produces. Bokeh is the term referring to the appearance to out-of-focus (ness,ness) of the areas in an image produced by a camera lens using a shallow depth of field (DOF).
The lighting on the above photo was direct sunlight passing through a 42 inch diffusion 5 in 1 flexfil collapsible reflector. If your looking for a very nice inexpensive lens to add to your arsenal, look at the 50 mm f/1.8 Nikon lens. B&H has this lens at a very reasonable price. DT
