Here's everything you need to have some fun with film.

The 1970s Nikon EL camera was their first with (semi)automatic exposure, and has the usual manual settings as well. It needs a new PX28L battery but seems to function well with the default 1/90th second exposure you get without a battery. 

The lenses are probably what every serious photographer back in the day bought to cover most situations. The 50mm lens is a rather fast f1.4 and still gets good reviews for its optics. The 28mm is slower at f3.5 but also a nice quality lens. Both are in very nice shape. Neither has been modified for the later AI system.

$100 shipped to you in the US, elsewhere at cost.

I sent this to my daughter who is a photographer and her response was, "she's a beauty, but I already have one." Good luck with the sale.

I've shot countless photos with the same 50, still have it. If I didn't already have some vintage Nikon gear, I'd pick this up.

If you get no bites here, maybe try dpreview.com - they have a For Sale sub-forum, pretty sure it's free. No experience with it, but it's arguably the most popular camera site on the web.

I don't need it. I don't need it.

Good luck with the sale

Kit is sold!

My wife tells me this was actually her grandfather's camera, bought in SF when his older kit was stolen. He was a serious amateur - I think the body and two lenses were easily over a grand back in the day, so 3-4k now.

BTW those pics were taken with a new-to-me OM E-P7 and 17mm f1.8 lens. Nice, nice gear.
