Olympus Pen1 Digital camera

Gremlin · 25-12-2013, 12:52

I have an Olympus Pen1 Digital camera for sale. I have too many cameras and it is surplus to my requirements.

There are two interchangeable lenses. a 14mm to 42mm and a 40mm to 150mm.
Both have end caps, lens hoods and UV filters.
There is an electronic viewfinder which has been fitted to save using the screen and they alone sell for over £100 on ebay.
The camera and viewfinder are boxed with instructions and there is a carry bag and 4Gb SD card and battery charger.

The third photo was the PC splash screen to demonstrate the colours, the fourth taken through my patio windows of the bottom of the garden over 55 feet away and the fifth is my kitchen roll holder on the wall. No touching up or editing involved.

I am asking £150 for the lot, no less, they are going for a lot more on ebay but I cant be bothered with that.
Anybody interested give me a PM.

Russell, that is a very neat bit of kit. I'm sure it won't be with you very long.
If I was in the market for a new camera I would snap your hand off.

Thanks Margaret,
It's probably the wrong time of the year to try to sell things, a lot of people will be broke after over indulging in Christmas fare and buying too many presents for spoilt kids.
I am in no rush to sell the camera but you never know, someone may spot a bargain.

The Olympus camera is still for sale and now I have a Nikon fit lens for sale.
It is a 70 - 300mm Tamron lens with macro capabilities.
It is new and unwanted gift, only been used indoors to take the following photos through the patio window plus two in the kitchen.
It is boxed with unopened manual etc., both end caps lens hood, a UV filter and a spare collapsible lens hood.
It will fit all Nikon DSLR's and is manual or auto focus.
Only reason it is for sale is because I have the Nikon 80-400mm which does the same job plus the extra zoom.

I am asking no less than £75 and its a give away at that price.

Pity the lens wasn't a sony/minolta or I would have bought it Russell

The Tamron lens has now been sold but the Olympus camera with electronic viewfinder, two lenses and filters is still available.

Russell, I have been soooo tempted, but the camera(s) I have don't get the airing s that they should...recently I haven't had the time...and sometimes the patience to go out taking pics.
I hope you find a good new home for this camera soon.

Just to let you know the complete Olympus kit has now gone.
I donated it to the Moffat Golf Club to either sell or raffle for their charity golf competition.
The Charity this year is decided by the winning team.

Nice One Russell. You are very generous when it comes to charities.

One of the members of Moffat Golf club is a very good friend of mine and he organises the Competition each year. His handicap is six.
June always gave a donation each year and I continue to do the same.
He thinks the Charity this year will be the Dumfries and Galloway hospice for terminally ill children. Even though the winners decide who benefits it's usually sorted in advance.
Last year McMillians benefited.

Russell, you have a big heart...good on you!

Gremlin · 19-09-2014, 10:07

Thanks Margaret.
I consider myself very lucky regarding health and financial situation and seeing the plight of others who I meet at the blind society or the Barlick care home touches my heart.
I only mentioned the Moffat charity because of the camera I was going to sell.
