It’s that time of the year…when I need to clean out my camera bag to make way for some upgrades.
The first up is the Canon 16-35mm F/2.8L II EF Lens. This is a fantastic wide-angle lens. I bought is new July 2009 and have loved using it. But since I purchased several other wide angle lenses, it’s been mostly sitting around in my bag this past year. I hate to part with it, but I can’t justify having a $1500 paperweight.
The lens is in great condition, 9/10. There’s a small piece of rubber on the edge torn (see photo), and I’m ordering a replacement cap (lost it). I’ve had a Hoya glass filter on it from day one, so the lens is scratch-free. I’m including the filter ($70) for no extra charge. Comes with box, hood, manual, and new cap.
Asking: $1275 Prefer paypal, but can take cash if local. Comment with your email address if you’re interested.
Next up is a Canon 5D classic camera. This is the original model of the famous 5D. It’s a full-frame sensor camera, so no crop ratio. I love this camera and have used it to photograph many weddings. I bought it new March 2008. I don’t know the shutter count, but I’m sure it is A LOT. The camera is in good condition–just some cosmetic scratches on the bottom and on the hotshoe. Sensor is dust-free. There are some specs of dust in the viewfinder, but it doesn’t affect photos. LCD screen is scratch-free. Camera comes with all the manuals, wires, battery charger and free extra battery. I’m currently looking for the box…I may or may not be able to find it. I’m selling this camera because I’m upgrading it to the mark II.
Asking: $880 Prefer paypal but will take cash if local. Comment with your email address if you’re interested.
I also think the camera and lens would make a great starter set–much better than that silly kit lens they usually include. Let me know if you’re interested in both.

Carrie - Are the camera & lens still available? Just wondering if it would be a good set up for me? Still haven’t invested in a dslr as of yet… Let me know!
Heather - Oh my word – Justin and I wish we could buy your 5D (and the lens for that matter) but we bought a house instead. 😉 Maybe next time.
Love ya!
sharon jones - Mary,
I follow your blog and on FB. I am very interested in the 5D you have for sale. I live in Leechburg but work in the North Hills and would be able to pay you cash. Please let me know if it is still for sale. You can reach me via email or on my cell phone (412) 916-3483. I don’t do photography professionally so can you please tell me if this camera will have a long life for me? I’m not sure how to judge what you said about the shutter count. Thanks, Sharon
Rodger - If I was not saving for a 35mm 1.4L I would jump on that 16-35 deal!
