Anyway, the auction includes: - Light & Motion PC 350 Housing with Monitor Back - Regular back (if the monitor back needs service you have a backup.  It's worked perfect for me.) - Two 65 degree FOV lenses (one has a slight scratch, so I'm also including a brand new one!) - PC350 Camera and miscellaneous accessories, such as the base, charge cord, lens cover. - Six long burn batteries. (They fit nicely inside the housing.  I always got at least two dives in with one battery, so I didn't have to open the housing between dives.)  I charged them all and used a few in September with no problems.    - 1450 Pelican Case measures about 16" by 12" by 6" or so. - (Auction does not include the sea shells or tape measure!) A few notes: I'm including two lenses because the original lens had a minor scratch.  It's almost never noticeable underwater (I've noticed the scratch in a total of about five seconds out of about twenty hours of underwater video), but it is noticeable out of the water sometimes.  (The sample pics below are of the old scratched lens, and all the sample vids were taken with the old lens).  Anyway, I bought a new lens because I thought I was keeping this unit.  Now you have an extra lens to bash up all you want while you learn, on the side of the boat, or on coral, or snorkeling, or whatever.  All the vids above were taken with the old lens, and you can't notice any scratch, even in the original tape, which is very high quality (let me know if you want to see and I'll try to email you a small sample). The Monitor Back housing has a RMA number on it from service the previous owner had done.  I've had this unit since July of 2007 and have never had a single issue with it.  If you have any problem in the first month, let me know and you can return it, or we'll work it out.  It is in excellent condition.
