hello jackue. Thank you very much for the kind answer. the camera is in like new condition and will come with nikon 80-200 f3.5 lens. i suppose this lens is not the best but i can sell it ( as is goes cheap ) and buy a sigma 17-50 or 17-70 as i read those lenses are very good and not expensive. i suppose is very good price and if i dont like it i can always sell it. so you think that is a good buy ?

If the camera is in such a good condition, then it will be a good buy in my opinion.

CHECK THE BATTERIES though, I'm not sure whether new batteries are still available for the S5, but I'm sure you'll be able to find generic replacements if needed.

The Sigma 17-50 is a very popular lens and should work just fine, I used the Nikon 18-105mm most of the time, but that has now been superceded by the Nikon 18-140mm as far as I know. However, you will be able to find many good lenses for this camera, just be wary of the newer AF-P lenses from Nikon, they might not be compatible.

I have also used the Nikon SB-600 flashes on my S5 and they worked great.

Thank you and 250 including a nikkon lens is not bad at all.  The camera come with hand grip and the 2 batteries . Also i just ordered a CF to Sd adapter that i can use an sd card.

i am willing to buy in the near future and one of the follwing lens or sigma 17-70 or 17-50 or tamron 17-50 just to be all around camera and i can use it and for potraits too. i dont want to invest too much about this camera because i already own a m/3 camera with good lenses.but i think for this price is worth to get and play:) is completely different that my mirroless. the buttons , is bigger , different menu , optical viewfinder, different lenses, so it will be interesting experience:) lets hope that i will enjoy using it:)
