For sale is my Nikon D300 camera, along with the standard 50mm lens.
I bought the D300 new from B&H Photo in NYC (it is a US market camera). It is in great shape, with less than 8,500 shutter actuations (it is rated 150k). Everything works perfectly and it takes great photos. It looks great, excellent even. It has never been dropped, gotten wet, or been mistreated. The bottom has a few marks, but you have to look pretty closely. The Nikon BM-8 screen cover has some light scratches but nothing out of the ordinary. I always shot with the cover on the screen so the screen itself is perfect. All the buttons look new (no paint rubbing off or anything). It comes with the NH-18a charger (with Korean or US style cord, but you have to pick one because I need the other), two Nikon EN-EL3e batteries (both genuine Nikon and working at 95%+), Nikon body cap, Sandisk Extreme 4gb card, Lexar Platinum II 2gb card, and a usb cord. I used this camera mostly as a backup and decided to pare down the photo gear for the new year.
I am including my Nikon Nikkor 50mm 1.8 lens (made in Japan). It is not the current generation, but works great and is in perfect condition. I recently bought a new LC-52 pinch-on Nikon lens cap for it.
Also included is a Herringbone camera strap for secure one-handed shooting. I bought it last year in Seoul, I think for 40,000. It is leather and is in great shape. I just noticed the button on the strap holder has some paint missing but that is the only thing bad to say about it.
What's not included- other cords that were probably in the box but have no idea what they did or where they are; the original strap (also can't find it); the back lens cap for the 50mm; the serial number in the photos (I whited it out in photoshop, if you need it I can text it to you).
These seem to be going for about $660 on ebay in the states without the lens (and in questionable condition), so 800,000 won (~$690) -REDUCED to 750,000 won- with the lens seems like a very fair price to me.
I can take more photos if you want to see anything in particular, or if you want to see photos taken with the camera. I am also selling (separately) a few other lenses if you are interested.
Posted on Craig's List as well (with photos). http://seoul.craigslist.co.kr/pho/2789042735.html

Also just found the BS-1 hot shoe cover so it will be on there too. I am sure that is a deal maker for someone

What other lens are you selling? I might be interested!

[tndbr]

I have a Nikon 16-85mm DX VR (600,000), Nikon 35mm DX f1.8 (190,000) and possibly a Nikon 70-210mm f4 but I am not sure I want to sell it, though a good offer could change that.

The 35mm lens has been sold

I might be interested in the 50mm lens. I always wanted to try it. Are you selling it separately? How old is it and what's the condition like? Could you give me the model number. Thanks!

I am not sure if I would want to sell separately, depends on who buys the D300. I think it would be called a 50mm f/1.8s original version. It is in excellent shape, the glass is perfect and it focuses quickly and smoothly. No scratches or obvious marks anywhere on the lens. One note, it is not an AF-S lens, so it won't autofocus on the new low end Nikon DSLRs (like the 3000, 3100, 5000, and 5100). Not sure which others, but it needs a camera with a focus motor.

Hoping to sell before next week so the price is lowered to 750,000 obo
