And ignore the bit about adding £20 if using Paypal, their fees are not as steep as I thought.

£250 GBP (ONRO)
Bought in April 2008 from Jessops, with 6770 actuations. Perfect working order and condition.
Also included are:
A Lowepro TLZ 20 Bag, which takes the camera plus a standard zoom lens.
A BG3 Battery Grip. This has some minor cosmetic damage around the metal seating pegs which help tether it to the body (not the electronic coupling!!!). I tried to improve the snugness of the fit by adding a bit of superglue to the pegs to bulk them out a little but it didn't work and I scraped it off with a penknife.

It is in excellent condition, with box, bought from Jessops in June 2008, and exchanged in September and October the same year (see below about lens zoom creep).
Also included are:
A Hoya Pro1 UV 62mm Filter
A Hoya 62mm Circular Polarizer.
Please note that due to the design of this lens it suffers from quite a bit of zoom creep. This is not a fault, but integral to the lens's design. I have exchanged it twice and concluded that it is simply part of the trade off one makes for having such an extensive zoom range in one lens. It can however be locked in the 18mm position.
