    I just won an auction for.... [selling 12-60mm!!]

    An E3, a 12-60mm, and an HLD-4 grip

    Question is, what should I do now? I know I'm going to sell the 12-60 since I already have one. Should I sell me E-510? Should I sell the HLD-4 grip?



    Subsequently, anyone interested in buying the 12-60mm? It is in excellent condition. I'm thinking a special forum price of $750. Maybe you could talk me down to a bit less if I like you

    I think I will post the auction for it on here after I get home and take some pics of the lens.


    edit: OH and a UV filter is included!!

    The 510 would make a great backup camera. If I were you I would keep the body. By the way congrats on the E3 you will be happy with it.

    It's too bad you don't have a use for two 12-60mm lenses. Because the Zuiko 12-60mm is that good!

    FWIW,

    I tried to sell my E510 (briefly!) and found it's market value to be less than it's in-hand value.

    The 12-60 I'd sell though...you can get a 14-54 and a 30/1.4 for the value, or most of a 50-200 (old version)...both compelling reasons to sell an extra 12-60.

    and you'll love the E3/12-60 combo. Wow that's fast. Let me know how you like the grip.

    E510 sells for at least $300, Ill sell it. I really don't feel that I need a backup body, $300 is much more worth it for me. I'll probably use that money to put into a Sigma 70-200 2.8

    Sounds like a good plan. When I had mine on the block, I couldn't get more than 275 shipped. Which isn't worth it to me. 350, however, would have been.

    Eh, even 275 is more useful to me than a camera body that I KNOW I wont use. I mean I have a pocket camera for portability. I could probably use that money to buy a Pana TZ5 and have a huge zoom range and HD movie recording in my pocket for backup.
