Emotional and Serene indeed. Been their many times. The most impressive is when your in attendance for a funeral. They pull out all the stops. The Horse and gun Turrets and the precision of everyone is beyond what you would think. I recreantly attended one for a close friend that was a retired Navel Chaplin and also got stationed at Arlington for some time. May they all RIP

I hear the 18-140 for the z50 is a good lens. In fact I use a dx 18-140 Nikon lens on my d5500 when I want to carry something lighter than one of my d7000 or d7500. Such as in museums or for street photography when I don’t need the extra reach of something like my 18-300.


Thanks for this info. I also have an 18-140 and use it as my go to lens. I was just considering what I want to carry when I go west on May to Denver and Arizona. I need to lighten my load and not carry so much stuff. Thanks again

Thanks for sharing. The color is beautiful. We leave in a few days and head that way and hope to get a week of great weather and some nice pictures. Also looking for a place to retire. Liking what I see so far. Thank You.

Wow. This is good. Now being a beginner I have to say I see where a real camera has it's advantages over a phone. I am an android user and I don't buy a new one just because there is a better camera on the new pbone. My phone is used as a phone and email and text mostly. I guess i am getting old. I am still learning how to really use my camera but still the pictures are better most of the time. My phone takes the thought process out of achieving that goal. I guess it's like everything else. Find the easy way around it or the short cut and stop using our brains. My phone is a point and shoot. Dummy proof.

I am interested. I saw Eastern PA.. Are you still on that area? If so I live close to the border to NY. Is there anyway I can come pickup and look at it?
Thanks John

I have arrived at the point in photography where my need is simply capturing memories. No longer are high res, long reach, low light, wide angle, etc. my priorities or requirements. At the same time, the functionality and picture/video quality of “cellcams” has advanced remarkably. Their size, convenience, simplicity, and portability are hands down winners – no contest.

I may be a heretic, but I am an honest one! So it is with mixed feelings that I begin the sale of my photography gear. Everything listed was used only by knowledgeable adults, stored/used in smoke free, pet free and conditioned environments. Most use has been indoors for real estate and decorator purposes, never in rain, beach, desert, etc. All of these items have seen very limited use.

I try to be conservative and realistic with condition ratings and prices – under promise and over deliver. My 100% positive reviews/ratings here and on other sites bears this out. I price with a healthy discount off prices from the well-known resellers for similarly graded used gear since I cannot offer their warranty. However, there is also no 5-10% sales tax! Please feel free to make whatever offer (OBO) you think fair and reasonable.

Comprehensive specs and details are available on the Nikon website – Google is your friend, eBay is not.

Prices do not include shipping which typically runs $10-$25 depending upon item, buyer preferences, etc. Will ship to US addresses, fully insured to protect both parties. I combine and do not inflate shipping.

PayPal or similar strongly preferred, checks only after fully cleared, cash in person (just west of Philadelphia).

Thank you for looking but PLEASE help keep this post clean and PM ME with questions, interest, offers etc.

I will update items with sale status.

NIKON D5600 DSLR s/n 3019400 (USA) Excellent $450 OBO
Few of these seem to come to market from the quality resellers. Shutter count is a very low 1633 !! Latest firmware, Just back from professional cleaning, lubrication and adjustment of sometimes finicky popup flash release (fixed), Cannot imagine many better in the used market
Includes: Body and cap, Nikon charger, 2 Nikon batteries, Nikon DK-21 rubber eyepiece, Nikon strap, Unable to find box after move!

NIKON SB-700 Speedlight s/n 2261346 Excellent $200 OBO
Includes: Clip on diffuser, green and orange filters, Clean battery connections, 2 remote stands, User guide, No box

NIKON AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-80mm f/2.8-4E ED VR s/n 244180 Very Good/Excellent $425 OBO
Slightly larger, but FAR superior to the18-55 kit lens, MUCH faster with a more usable zoom range. Rarely used, like new EXCEPT the outside of the filter ring has a small ding hence only a very good cosmetic rating, Never dropped and performance unaffected, I see no dust, fungus or scratches on glass
Includes: Front and rear caps, HB-75 hood, Second HB-75 hood new in box available for $25, Generic 72mm was always mounted for protection, Front glass does not rotate to simplify use with hood and/or filters, Includes Nikon box, manual, papers

NIKON AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR s/n US6012442 Excellent $415 OBO
IMHO super zooms are trade-offs, but this seems to be one of the best at balancing performance, weight, and convenience. Easy to use a hood and/or filters since front glass does not rotate
Includes: Front and rear caps, HB-39 hood, B+W F-PRO UV filter mounted, I see no dust, fungus or scratches on glass, 2 additional hoods for $10 each, No box

HOYA HMC 72mm UV(c) Filter New, unused $20 *** SOLD ***

Rodenstock 67mm Circular Polarizer Filter Like new $50 *** SOLD ***

I was looking at your 16-80mm lens? How good were your pics. with this compared to kit lens? I have the 18-55 and an 18-140 and am not real happy with the quality of the pics. I am not a pro but would still like better photos. I also saw your in eastern PA? At all close to NY? Thanks

I understand your frustration after 3 years. I am at the same place sometimes. I have the same camera and about the same amount of time in with it. There are times i switch over to P mode and check myself with the settings and compare them to what i am taking.
I am not perfect i use auto or p mode and so what. There are a lot of excellent suggestions here try some of them. Tha k you for being honest and speaking up about your struggles. You have also helped me. I know the one thing a lot of friends and an instructor in a class i took said.. Practice practice practice and when your done practice and take more pictures. You may take 100 and get 1 or 2 good ones. I know it's frustrating. Thank you..

I myself have a 5600 and have had it for 3 years now and like it a lot. I have a 18-140 lens that I use often. I also just purchased a Tokina 11-16 f2.8 and this lens is now one I am really starting to like. I also have a 70-300mm. One thing I do like is the flip out screen especially when I shoot on a tripod. For someone that has had back surgery and bending down is a problem at times it leaves me a lot of options. Hope this helps.

I just purchased a refurbished one from Tokina for my Nikon. It was an 11-16 f2. 8. It came well packaged and looked great. I love it. You can't go wrong. Works great and it came recommend from a friend that is a professional. He told me to go there and get that one instead of a brand new one. Wise choice.
