Condition
Neither camera has been used in many years. They have been stored carefully (and everything except the D8LA body was in the camera case). I believe that the D8L was in working order (the one with the film still in it), but pressing the shutter only resulted in a few frames, so the camera needs attention. The D8LA did nothing when I tried it. All of the equipment is therefore sold as is.
Will be dispatched within two days of cleared payment (will aim for same day when possible) using a 1 day delivery service with an appropriate level of compensation
