Actually, its more the need to raise funds for a new toy. Some stuff really needs to go this time round.
EOS3 w PB-E2: Excellent condition, i bought this in a vain attempt at landscaping but have since decided that i should stick to animals. The EOS 3 probably represents the pinacle of canon film camera technology and this one comes with both the booster as well as the regular grip. £150obo I suspect the grip alone is worth over £50.
EF 400mm f5.6 L: Mint condition. Probably the best flight shot lens i've ever used and certainly more than able to hold its own wide open against other lenses shot at 5.6. F5.6 makes this lens small and light and the perfect travel lens. I bought this while in singapore and used it there but not much since as i often travel with my 300-800 and can't bear to carry a 2nd lens (breaks my back!!!). I can probably fish out the case and boxes from somewhere for this one making it next to new really. £750obo. An ebay copy will cost u over £900
Sigma 30mm f1.4: Great DX sized lens for canon mount. Its sharp as hell at f2 onwards, and at 1.4, i suspect its the DOF more than anything that makes it hard to nail focus. There are some scuff marks on the hood, but none of the usual sigma wear as yet. Its a lovely lens and the main reason why i never got a 35L. £200obo
Canon G7: £120obo for a cheap walkaround compact that has more functions than the usual P&S? I've never had a need for RAW on my P&S and still don't see why ppl whine about it.
Olympus OM2SP: Famous OM series camera with spot meter. This doesn't seem to suffer from battery drain the last time i used it, and shutter and stuff was accurate (its electronic timed shutter). This is in mint++ condition and comes with a 50 1.8 and a T20 flash and respective manuals. Whether for use or for show, its a great camera. I'm sure there's still some film birds amongst us surely? I have way too many film SLR and OM is just my least diverse system. £120obo.
Please feel free to email with querries/offers. Thanks a lot guys!
