• Have a chance to buy a used 5D mk2 and Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM for about £1000. This is a v good lens and a great price is it not?

  • Surely it is, a used 5D Mk2 used is around 800€ and the 24-70 2.8 L USM lens are for 600€ used. I can say it isa good price, but depends how the SLR is and how it was used, same for the lens

  • What condition and shutter count?
    You can get the 5d Mkii body for under £600.

    Actually that does look like a good deal with that lens.

  • Yes abd no, as a combo Yeah, the 24-70 was a kit lens on those and are great to have

    5d2 I've been very surprised by how they hold up value wise, considering 6d and 5d3 aren't that much more used and are at least 1x if not 1.5x generation newer in every respect.

    I was looking for a used 6d but new price has now been dropped by Canon to 985£ from around 1095£ (and was closer to £1400 at launch 5 years ago). Used the cheapest most beaten down one is £550, £650 gets a used one with 50k drops and some video hours in ok condition with upto q 12 month limited warranty from a camera shop

    But £760 gets you a new one from a highly reputed shop in hk, including vat/duties. Grey import so no canon UK warranty but they are reputable when dealing with warranty.
    Think I'm gonna pull thr trigger on it, much rather new than a used eCampbell that could be as much as 5 years old and have hundreds/thousands of hours open shutter, been repaired by anyone etc, which is fair enough if a reasonable price for a 5 year old electrical item.
    Always think used dslr body are way too much £££.

    Anyone any horror stories buying from e-infin?
