No shutter count is offered, but it seems like most sellers will oblige if asked.

It gets better when you realise the *istD will handle true TTL flash...

Great deal for someone in the US...

But the item for sale is the DL - the ebay listing states it.

Tired, looked at title and went from there.

Sorry I didn't post that accurately. Interesting to learn that that is when true TTL stopped (I have seen other threads about that). I had an Olympus OM-4 back in the day that was at least an early implementation of TTL and it was very handy and it worked well.
