If you can edit the title, edit and say it's NIKON mount and give link to official page.
Yours is the cheapest, should sell quick.

Here's a big one: Phase One has announced a 101 MP medium format digital back with no Bayer or IR filter. Yep, this is for those who love luminescence over colour. The price for the back alone is $50 K so you will have to love luminescence over many other things as well. But it comes with a free lens worth $7 K so no different from buying a pressure cooker with free gasket :)

Medium format is still an unknown territory for 99% of the photographers out there. The only memory of me using a medium format is a Fuji 680, with only two sets of films.....I like the direction Fujifilm took with GFX50s(which I got a chance to try), a more "handheld" ready medium format, but still, too expensive, and lacks lenses which full frame competitors have. Phase One and Hasselblad, both are loosing relevance just because of their implementation of medium format, much like Kodak did with digital.

I am happy with my D7000 :p 14mp DSLR ...Max I would go is 24-30MP full frames ...a 101 MP will take hell lot of time to copy/process/store. No Thank you .

one person is asking my Sigma 150-500 for 18k saying it will cost him 5000 for removing fungus and maintenance...what to do...should I try to fetch 20k and give it.
I know inside me that I have to sell this before this rainy season or else fungus will increase and it may become difficult for me.

Check if the fungus has developed inside or outside. Get it cleaned if its outside otherwise sell it as is. Make sure buyer accepts it "as is" condition and no returns.

Cleaning fungus inside the lens elements is difficult and zoom lenses are complex. After assembling, the lens won't be as original.

ooh :)
So the update is the person at fort checked my lens and straight away said 5k for cleaning :( ..now I am selling the lens with fungus only..reduced the price to 22k
I asked the price of Digicab Dry box and it cost too much ...I will require 70L one which cost 16k ...soo I dropped that idea and will do DIY.

I got two offer for 300mm f4+TC ...1st is quoting 52k for lens +nikon 1.4x tc and 2nd quote 48k for lens and kenko 1.4x tc ...will check the Nikon one first and if found any issue then will go for kenko one.

Okay. Then, test both of 'em before finalizing.
How you gonna do?
First sell your lens and buy these or don't mind which goes/comes first?
