First up is a Panasonic HMC40 kit that has served me well as a "B" camera. I've used it for three weddings, a few indie projects, and as a vacation camera on a trip to NYC.
This HMC40 is in perfect working order, it only has 98 hours of use (18 of which I put on the camera, 81 of which were the previous owner's use), and it's in great cosmetic shape (there is just a tiny paint rub on the back of the LCD flip-out screen).
The previous owner used this camera mainly in the studio, I used it as an isolated (locked-off-on-a-tripod) camera during a few wedding services, and I also used it as a lightweight run 'n' gun camera on my SteadiCam Merlin during a few wedding receptions.
This camera is coming with a LOT of extra goodies - in fact, it's absolutely everything you'll need to get out there and get shooting except for a set of headphones and a carrying bag.
Almost all of the original accessories are included except for the battery-charger-to-camera AC power adapter cable and manufacturer's box… so instead there are a total of 5 batteries (4x 6 hour, 1x 3 hour) included, as well as chargers for all of them. I've yet to run one of the 6 hour batteries fully down, even when leaving the camera on & rolling for a whole 1 hour wedding ceremony AND the following 4 hour reception - beginning to end.
You also get a 32GB Class 4 Kingston SDHC card that has proven reliable for myself and the previous owner.
I'm including an Azden shotgun mic that has a sweet pickup pattern and is effective out to ~50-75 feet (in my usage of it with the HMC40). Also included is a BeachTek DXA-4P XLR adapter/audio controller. This unit allows you to pull in and set the levels for any two XLR feeds, whether it's a board-pull from a mixer, wired and wireless lavalieres, condenser mics, etc.
Additionally, I'm throwing in two useful filters you'll want to keep with the HMC40: a CPL and a warming filter (handy on cloudy days if you want to get lazy and punch in a 5.6k manual WB).
The 3 aftermarket batteries cost $40/each ($120), and the add-on Panasonic VBG6 goes for $150ish new. The aftermarket chargers cost $25 total. The shotgun mic and BeachTek adapter together cost $250. The filters cost $50. That's about $600 in extras, in addition to the mighty HMC40.
I'm looking for $1650 (net to me) for this whole kit SHIPPED viaUPS Ground.
$1650 gets you:
HMC40
32GB Class 4 memory card (over 2 hours rec time at 1080p/24p)
Original accessories: remote, top handle, rubber eyecup, lens shade, RCA a/v cable, component video cable w/BNC nubs are all INCLUDED
1x Panasonic battery charger
1x Panasonic extended battery (6 hour)
1x Panasonic standard battery (3 hour)
3x aftermarket extended batteries (6 hours each)
4x aftermarket battery chargers
Azden ECZ-660 mic
Beachtek DXA-4P XLR-to-mini pin adapter
43mm CPL filter
43mm Fluorescent/warming filter
ALSO: If you buy the HMC40 kit, I'll include a Sony ECM-44B electret condensor wired lavaliere microphone & case (XLR) at no additional cost... This is a $175 microphone (at B&H) that you're getting for FREE, and $1650 is a stupidly awesome price on the HMC40 package above. Email me!
Next up is a Letus35 Mini adapter. The adapter is in great cosmetic shape and 100% working order (vibrating motor is working, fresh batteries installed, backfocus adjustment is properly calibrated for Nikon F mount lenses, ground glass screen is free of marks and recently cleaned of dust via compressed air). The support hardware and rails are in full working order and are in good cosmetic shape (some paint brassing on the screws and a few paint rubs on the hardware). The hardshell case is in great cosmetic shape with only a few scuffs on the aluminum, but the previous owner cut out some of the internal foam out to accommodate a small camcorder - see the pictures. (I'll post pictures later this evening.)
This kit includes a Canon EOS mount, Nikon F mount, and M42 Screw mount for the adapter, as well as both a 37mm and a 43mm attachment thread for camcorders of varying sizes. These were purchased at an additional cost of over $100.
I'm looking for $700 (net to me) for this whole kit SHIPPED via UPS Ground. You can opt for another shipping service, but I ask that you pay for any other shipping methods/expedited shipping.
$700 gets you the following:
LetusMini adapter unit
Canon EOS mount
Nikon F mount
M42 Screw mount
43mm attachment thread
37mm attachment thread
v1 support rails (30cm) with quick release plate
Hex wrenches
Hardshell transport case
If you want all of the gear listed here, I'll take $50 off of the price (only $2300 for EVERYTHING above, shipped to your door). I accept checks, PayPal, PayPal e-check, and cash. Once your payment clears, I'll ship the gear. PayPal users: please add 3% if paying via credit card.
Why am I selling this gear? I bought this camera and 35mm adapter kit for use on a documentary film project that never materialized… so now I'm selling it.
I've sold gear on here, my ebay ID is jasonallenodu, and I have also bought/sold gear on fredmiranda.com under the id jasoncallen.
