Son selling his Nikon D40X....

[Denis]

Probably only with about 5000 shutter activations, (need to check) This has the kit 18-55 and the 70-200 Nikkor. He has a Manfrotto tripod with one of those pistol type multi way. As I get more details I shall edit the post better. Just seeing if any interest.

Denis - which 70-200 ? what is the lowest f number, and any pictures would be good.

[Denis]

I shall find out more this week Colin, although I'm not sure if he wants to split the package up... but he may do.

Nikon D40X Camera Body - £100.00

 

Nikkor AF-S 55-200- DX 1:4-5:6 G ED VR Lens

 

Nikon 18-55 1:3-5:6 G2 ED DX Lens.

 

To sell altogether Offers around £200.00. This camera has had low use

 

 

 

 

Slik Pro 400DX Tripod with Slik 1100E multi way pistol grip head.....This, as stated, has only been used about three times.

 

The Slik AF-1100 uses a patented design that allows the trigger handle to release tension on the ball when it is squeezed and lock the ball head in any position by simply releasing the trigger handle. This innovative action allows the camera to be pointed in almost any direction with ease, making a tripod mounted camera feel like more of an extension of the body.

 

  £150.00

What's the weight of the body, and each lens? It is a relevant question.

[Denis]

These are the weights I found using google...

 

Weight, 475 g (16.8 ounces) without battery 524.1 g with battery

 

Weight: 263 g; Boxed-product Weight: 340 g for 18-55 lens.

 

Weight: 11.82 oz Boxed product for the 55-200 lens.

Thanks for that Denis. I would have been tempted at that price, but sadly it would be too heavy for me to use  especially if I needed a telephoto zoom. But thanks again for looking it up.

Ah, but what about the lenses? To be honest I'm tempted by the LX5 successor (that being no longer available) the LX7 - it has a f1.4 - f2.3 lens and seems to have got very good reviews. Ok, it only has the equivalent of 24-80mm zoom, but apparently you can take that up to about 250mm if you apply digital+EZ zoom. What do you think?
