Olympus E-PL1

I bought one of these as a carry-around camera because of the size. I bought it from a girl that only used it about six times. It looks and works like a new camera -- even has the plastic backing on the view screen, I have never used it, only took a few test shots. One reason I thought it would be nice is because I have a lot of Olympus lenses and thought I could use this as a body as an extra benefit to using it as a take everywhere camera. Although it is a 4/3 format, it won't take lenses from the old OM film cameras like the new line of digital cameras will with an adaptor. I have an adaptor that will allow me to use the old manual lenses on the digital cameras but it doesn't fit the Pen body. Like I said, the camera is as new -- box, papers, everything that came with the camera. I will include a 40-150 telephoto lens that can be used on the camera if you purchase an adaptor. (the adaptor converts the new line of digital lenses for use on the Pen series camera, but not old style manual lenses like I was interested in converting.) Shortly after I purchased the Pen, I found someone selling an Olympus 510. While the body is not as compact as the Pen, it is still much smaller than the Nikon I tote around most of the time and with the adaptor I have from previously owning Olympus 300 and 500 bodies, I have a platform to use my old manual lenses. I want to keep these together bacause I have two 40-150 lenses and would like to sell one. I am asking 300 for both the camera and lens. The Pen comes with a 14-42, and with the 2:1 factor, you would have lenses going from 28-300 in 35mm terms.
I thought it was 100% scratch free but on taking it out to check lens size, I noticed there are some light scratches on the flash lid. The original owner was a woman and most likely closed the flash with her nails. Close up of that area will be shown in the attached photos.
For 300.00 you get the camera, extra lens, 4gb card, Tamrac case, filter on 40 to 150 lens, original box paper work and accessories that came with the camera.
