MH-21 battery charger SOLD
I have a like new one I no longer need.
Comes with box, instructions, everything.
I picked it up to charge the EN-EL4 for my D700 grip, then got a D2HS that came with the same charger and I've been using the D2HS charger.
Now $ 105 shipped (CONUS) and PP'd.
AF-S 80-200 2.8 SOLD
Late model USA version in at least excellent plus condition. Wonderfully sharp copy.
Includes the original Nikon HB-17 hood, Nikon front/rear lens caps, and the upgraded Kirk tripod collar.
Lens reviewer Bjorn Rorslett finds the original Nikon tripod collar to be somewhat flimsy and that's the only thing holding him back from giving this lens a top rating of 5.
Bolstered by the Kirk tripod collar, this lens is as good as it gets. http://www.naturfotograf.com/lens_zoom_03.html#AFS80-200f2.8
The Kirk tripod collar is $159.95 plus shipping from Kirk Enterprises: http://www.kirkphoto.com/Lens_Collar_for_80-200mm_f2.8_AFS.html
The Kirk tripod collar has an Arca-Swiss plate integrated into its foot design, so you don't need a separate lens plate.
Glass condition is flawless on this lens, as are the mechanics.
Barrel cosmetics are excellent. Just a couple of very minor rub marks on the barrel near the tripod collar; you need to view the lens at an angle for them to be visible. The hood has some rub marks, but nothing major.
I shoot my daughter's indoor gymnastics and the available light is quite limited. I shoot wide open to get a decent shutter speed. Fortunately, this copy is extremely sharp wide open.
I've owned 3 copies of the 70-200vr verion 1, but chose this lens over them because of its superior sharpness wide open.

(test details: D700, 9.5 ft distance, f/2.8, tripod, remote release, natural lighting (windows), no in camera sharpening and no PP.)

I want to net $1300.
I'll be happy to discuss payment options such as money order, personal check, PP personal transfer, PP echeck and PP regular payment.
I would expect insured priority mail USPS shipping to most places in CONUS to be no more than $30. If it turns out to be less than $30, I'll refund the difference.
I'm happy to ship to other locations at actual cost.
