Selling very good condition Z mount Nikon 40mm f2 lens. Sold my z mount Nikon gear, so don't need this anymore. Comes with OEM box and front/rear caps it came with. Works great and never had any issues on my Z5 ii. Glass and lens barrel clean. $175 shipped and paypal'd.
First time I’ve ever shot fireworks. These were quite distant so I had to crop a lot. The 12-60 kit lens did pretty good…the only other lenses I have are the 60mm macro and 300 f4 so the kit lens got called up. Used live composite for the first time. The hardest part was manually focusing. Fun experiment!
My first outing outside my backyard with the new to me OM-1 and 300mm lens. I forgot my 1.4tc so had to crop more than I wanted. Not bad though. Also processed with my new capture one subscription (found out they do a student discount).
Found this juvenile mantis outside. Maybe 1.25 inches long. He was quite active but I managed to get this in camera stack.
Wanted to try out a small Sony set up, but not my cup of tea.
Sony FE 16-35mm f/4 G lens: Got this in part of a bundle. Good, small, light, sharp lens. Comes with front/rear caps and a lens bag. Lens body in good condition. Lens in mostly good condition, but it does have a mark on the front element. I couldn't get it to show in images taken with the camera. See the lens photos I provided that shows the mark. Normally, this lens sells for $800+ used, so I'll discount to $625. Buyer pays shipping.
Sony a6000 with kit lenses (16-50 and 55-210). Camera in pretty good condition for age, lenses also in good condition with no obvious wear; glass is clean. Comes with front/rear caps and body cap, camera bag, two 3rd party batteries and charger. $500. Buyer pays shipping.
Selling my excellent condition E-M1 iii with the battery grip. Comes with box, charger, battery, body cap, and battery grip. I'm second owner and the camera works great--no issues at all. Very clean exterior, LCD and EVF in good shape (screen protector does show mark, but it's a screen protector...). Shutter count is exactly 3,000 (and 90% macro), and no I didn't plan it that way. Just moving to OM-1, so don't need this (though I might trade for a fuji camera or Z50 ii). Battery grip works well too, only used a few times. $650
I'll cover fees, buyer pays shipping.

Camera: Selling my excellent condition Nikon Z5 ii. Works perfectly and no marks I can see. Shutter count only 2306. EVF and LCD clean. Comes with original box, body cap, and battery. $1150 and I'll cover paypal fees, you cover shipping.
I have a d500 sitting in the closet and someone recently traded me a 200-400 f4 VR I lens for $200. He said the AF didn’t work right so I figured I’d try it out—so far it works fine. It’s a big, heavy lens that makes the 200-500 look moderately sized (200-400 weighs 2 lbs more and is 4 inches longer though it does have internal zoom). It’s a tripod lens as I can only handhold it for a short time. On a gimbal and a tripod, it’s honestly kind of fun. And the photos aren’t bad either. Of course part of the fun is using what used to be a $6000 lens that I got for so cheap. Here are a couple photos of a bullock’s oriole that’s been exploring my backyard.

Lens: Selling my excellent condition 500mm f5.6 PF lens. Sad to let this one go, but need the money to get something else. Glass is clean, body clean, everything works perfectly. Comes with OEM box, lens hood, front and rear caps, and camo skin (currently removed in photos). Works great on the Z5 ii and D500 I own. But...
Several weeks ago I noticed it wasn't focusing on distant objects very well, a bit blurry. I sent it in to Nikon for repair, and got it fixed--the issue was a faulty encoder unit. They fixed that, then adjusted, cleaned, tightened, and checked a bunch of things. I got it back a week ago and its cleaner and works better than the day I bought it (used). There is the repair warranty from Nikon, and this lens will work for many years now that Nikon looked everything over. I'll include paperwork for the buyer, and can show images to interested parties. Buyer pays shipping. $1600
Need help picking which camera set up to do for wildlife and macro. I like having two cameras (mirrorless) and would prefer one to be full frame but my budget may not allow that.
I currently shoot with a Z5 ii and 500mm f5.6 PF lens for wildlife and an Olympus E-M1 Mark iii with the 60mm f2.8 for macro. I also have a 24-70 and 40mm f2 for the Nikon. Unfortunately, my 500mm lens needs a repair and I don’t have money at the moment to fix it and keep the same setup. So I can get it repaired and then sell it, hopefully netting $900 after paying the repair bill.
Ignoring the standard zoom and prime lenses, my wildlife/macro options with selling/trading and remaining in budget are:
Recently my 500mm PF lens will not autofocus on distant subjects. It will focus fine within 200 feet I’d say, maybe 300, but at longer distances it can’t focus. I hear and see the AF motor start to focus on a distant tree, for example, but then it stops short and the tree won’t be in focus. I also tried other objects with high contrast, a bench, building, etc. I can manually focus on the distant object, but autofocus won’t bring it into focus. Strangely, with bird detection on, the camera will track the birds even though they are semi-blurry blobs going across the sky.
I checked all settings both on lens and in camera and nothing stood out that could cause this issue. I cleaned contacted on lens, camera, and ftz adapter. I tried the lens on both my Z5 ii and D500 and it behaved the same way.
Anyone have any ideas about what’s wrong?
