This is a unique kit, the two bodies were converted to monochrome by maxmax.com. If you're familiar with the Leica Q Monochrom or Leica M Monochrom series, these function exactly the same, except you get weather sealing, interchangeable lenses, video—all the benefits of the Nikon ecosystem. I'm more than happy to field any and all questions about these cameras. Selling because I am switching to mirrorless. Definitely not in a rush to get rid of these, they have served me very, very, well. See:

for examples of work made with these cameras. For the serious monochrome shooter, keep in mind that this is a three body, three lens kit for the same cost as an M11M + tax. You gain 1-1.5 stops of light with this conversion and a 50-70% increase in resolving power. In short—this will function exactly the same as any other digital monochrome offering.
Cameras all come with battery, charger, cable, and any other applicable accessories. May or may not have boxes for some, will have to look. Zeiss Otus comes with original box and accessories.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE:
The modification makes the internal rangefinder through the optical viewfinder inaccurate. However, thanks to Nikon's AF Fine-Tune, you can calibrate your lenses individually and independently to each body. The two AF lenses listed here have been calibrated to each D850M body individually, meaning this kit is plug-n-play. I do not want to sell the two lenses listed, however, if paying for the lenses is preferable to doing the calibration yourself, that's where the premium price is going. IF YOU ONLY BUY THE BODIES, YOU WILL HAVE TO CALIBRATE YOUR LENSES. The AF will be slightly off without the calibration, and I will not accept returns for lack of understanding on how to do this. I am, however, happy to teach you how. Calibration works with all Nikon AF lenses and all third party (Sigma, Tamron, etc.).
