For Sale: Canon 5D and Canon EF 24-105 F/4 Lens

For sale is my Canon 5D and my Canon EF24-105 F/4L IS USM lens (with Hoya UV Filter).

The 5D comes with a Canon battery grip, 2 batteries, a charger, a body cap and a strap. I'll throw in a Canon camera bag for it too. I'd like £525.00 for this posted.

The lens is boxed and has only been used a handful of times. There are no scratches on the lens. It comes with both caps and a Hoya UV filter. I'd like £475.00 for this posted.

I'm in Glasgow so you're welcome to collect and pay cash if you prefer rather than having the camera/lens mailed.

I'd also consider a discount if both items were bought together.

Only selling as I recently switched from Nikon to Canon and I'm struggling to get used to the Canon layout/interface. My plan is to try to find a used D700.

Any questions just ask.

does the 5d have filming capabilities or is that just the mark 2

just the mark 2 unfortunately.

ah shame.
lovely cameras... good luck with the sale.

PMd on behalf of a friend.

Thanks - got your message. I've just shot him an email to see if he's interested.
Cheers

Do you know roughly how many shutter actuations the 5D has?

I know anyone looking probably does not have to know any more about this camera (or this lens), but I have had mine for five years now (and going on 50-70k actuations I would guess), and can testify to its qualities. Apart from a pair of 50mm lenses, this is all I have (used to have a bunch of Nikon stuff), and most of the time I just use the 24-105 because it's so damn good. f4 isn't amazingly bright, but its sharp all the way down (my 50 f1.4 has to be stopped down to f2.8 or so to match), and with the IS you'll only miss speed if you take pictures of people when it's really dark (but then you would probably have a flash anyway). The combination of low pixel count and laaaarge sensor means that the pixel pitch -- the size of each physical light sensor really -- is the largest in any DSLR (or was, last time I checked). This means that noise comes out looking like film grain, even at 6400. It's simply an awesome camera/combination, and I have never felt limited by its technical aspects: it does just what a good camera should do, i.e. get out of the way in a good way.

Oh, and it's a tank: drop it, swing it into things, anything but heavy rain or submersion -- shrugs it off and shows a little of that shiny magnesium body in the process.

So have a bump!
