FS: Olympus Pen E-P5 w/ VF4 finder & both bodycap lenses!

[ki_atsushi]

I know there's only a few photographers on here, but I'm gonna give this a shot anyways:

Up for sale is my Olympus E-P5 micro 4/3 camera, with the excellent VF-4 electronic viewfinder (same as the one built into the flagship E-M1 body) and the 9mm F8.0 and 15mm F8.0 bodycap lenses with their rear caps! Also included is a 3rd party battery (not pictured) and the original Olympus BCN-1 battery charger.

This is a street shooter's dream, and everything you need to get shooting here! The bodycap lenses, while not the sharpest, will still surprise you with their quality especially for their size! With a bodycap lens on, this camera is pocketable if you unattach the VF-4 viewfinder, which can be unattached and reattached in seconds.

The body in in good condition with just some minor dings on the bottom corners, and has low actuations, under 5000 iirc.

Looking for $430 shipped in the US, or best offer!

Sweet-looking camera, GLWS. I didn't get a single bite on mine. I'll probably just keep it.

you know you always need a back-up, shit will happen at the worse time

But how did you take the pictures if the camera is in them?!

GLWTS, I'm a Canon guy myself.

Yeah, I was wondering if this was the case since you never bothered to bump the thread. Sucks dude.

True, if it doesn't sell in a reasonable amount of time I'll just keep it as a backup to my E-M1.

See above.

After starting with Canon, then going to Nikon, then Sony, and now Olympus... I think I've found the perfect system for me.

My Canon was beautiful as far as focusing speed goes, but I wasn't thrilled with the ergonomics.

My Nikon had the ergonomics and a more flat and film-like image quality which I liked, but the lenses and the focusing speed weren't as good.

I really liked my Sony A7, but the lack of lenses was pissing me off. And the prices of the lenses that the system did have were ridiculous.

Olympus m4/3 cameras and lenses are small and lightweight, the in-body image stabilization is unmatched by the other brands that feature it (and it's leagues better than optical stabilization), and oh so useful, and the 2x crop factor is very useful to get that reach for sports and wildlife photography. The pro lenses are expensive, but they are weather sealed as well as the OM-D EM-1 and 5 bodies.

Anyways, yeah the E-P5 is a great little camera but I'd like to have a little money to put toward one of the new pro lenses that are being released as of late.

Yeah I pretty much already decided that I'm keeping it as a backup/second camera. Maybe I can do some multi-angle shit on my YouTube crap, or something.
