For Sale - O/T - Cheapo DSLR Kit

  • Hiya

    I haven't used this stuff in a while, and I'd like it out of the way to help fund something new!

    Everything needs posting because I live in Sunderland. If by some miracle you do too, collection is welcome.

    So I've got the following bits that I'd like to move along. They’d be great for a beginner or for someone in need of cheap gear as a backup/replacement.


    Nikon D70s + 18-70mm f2.8

    I've had this for a good number of years now - the camera itself is probably close to 10 years old. It's seen me right for a good 8-9 years, but it's just a bit too heavy and bulky to continue as my sole digital camera. Not really a "carry everywhere" bit of kit. And there’s no bones about it, it’s pretty outdated.

    It comes with 3 CF cards (8,4,2 gb), spare battery, charger, rocket blower, and I'll see if I can dig out the old Nikon Strap. It's in good condition, for its age - though there was an extremely intermittent issue with the LCD screen sometimes not coming on very promptly.

    (I’ll also throw in the camera bag insert which is brilliant. It has heaps of dividers and means you can turn any bag into good camera storage, and it’s messenger bag shaped for your convenience.)

    It's got a 6mp sensor (such pixel), but it's CCD which I think used to be considered a good thing. No idea if this is still true.

    I have no idea how many shutter actuations the body has seen. Assume lots.

    Full specs on DP Review

    I'd like £130 including postage, based on what appears to be the going rate on ebay.


    Nikkor 50mm f1.8 D

    Super fun fast prime and the go-to “second lens” for most people.

    It’s in good nick, comes with a Hoya UV filter. Gives a crop of 75-ish mm on the above body as it’s a full frame lens.

    Here it is on DP Review

    £65 including postage for this please.


    Cokin ND Grad Kit

    These were loads of fun, essential if you’re shooting landscapes. Use them to equalise the required exposure settings between the land and the sky, even our your photo reet nice.

    In fine condition - kept in their cases 100% of the time they weren’t on the camera.

    Comes with an adapter ring to fit the 18-70mm lens above, which is 67mm.Also comes with an extra (slim) filter holder - use this on wider lenses where the normal filter holder would obscure the corners of the frame.

    £30 including postage, based on the surprisingly low prices these now sell for :(


    Hoya Circular Polariser

    This was also kinda cool. Use it to kill reflections from non-metallic surfaces (science?), and also to add some nice blue-ness to skies.

    Perfect condition, I’d say. Again it’s 67mm diameter to fit that there lens above.

    Here’s what Hoya have to say

    £20 posted because they also appear to be peanuts these days.


    You can see photos of all this stuff here.

    There’s also a heap of (terrible) photos on my stream that I took with this kit. Basically anything that’s not film was shot with the above.

    I’ll entertain (reasonable) offers on all of the above, and I’ll donate to the forum too, so please get stuck in.

    Questions welcomed too, of course.

    Cheers!
