New
A nice Nikonos V body with the standard f2.5/35mm land-or-underwater lens, plus a desirable f2.8/20mm dedicated underwater lens and viewfinder. Body works as expected, shutter speeds sound good, no obvious damage. Lenses are clean and clear.
The outfit also includes two (2) extension tubes and three (3) wire guides for easier closeups, plus more replacement gaskets and grease than I've ever seen with one set!
Finally, the outfit comes with two (2) complete SB 105 flash sets; flash head, diffuser, knuckle, extension arm, flash cable and mounting plate. I've tested both flashes and they're working properly. In addition, there's a cable that will allow you to fire both flashes at once from a single body, for that nice "key and fill" lighting effect on your subject. You can't mount both flashes to the body, so mount one and hold the other in your free hand. Yeah, it's a lot to do with 2 hands - focus, aim, press the shutter, etc. - but it can be done. Or kludge together your own 2-flash mount!
Most of the gear will fit in an original Nikonos carry bag, which is collectible in its own right. Not enough room for the flashes, though.
$325, shipping in US included. Sold as-is, with no return.
[NOTE FOR NIKONOS OWNERS: For many years, Nikon has had an open recall of the SB 103 flash (it can rupture at depth). You'd send the SB 103 to Nikon and they'd send you a new-in-the-box SB 105. Pretty sweet deal, since a new SB 105 retailed for $200 or so! However, the deal now is a $125 voucher for Nikon gear. It would seem they've run through their warehouse of SB 105 flashes, so these might appreciate in value as divers forget to replace bad O-rings, grease existing rings, old batteries leak and corrode contacts, etc. You might put one aside for your own use (should you make a mistake), or sell it to a desperate Nikonos owner who needs a replacement for a damaged flash!]
