Hi everyone,
This camera was purchase new from Central DS in late 2010. Used for about one year as primary camera on TAK TSA102, 2-3 times a month [roughly, weather permitting of course] for the first year, then moved to a CCD camera with cooler set point, then this camera was put away for only very occasional use there after. [Just checked shutter actions: 21882]
PICK UP PRICE: $650.00
See images below for condition/ appearance.
See link for dark frame taken just now. This frame was taken at the ambient temp shown is images below [16.1c, sensor temp -1.8c], with 8 prior images, this being the 9th image, all subs were 10min, @800ISO.
