What the?

[benhasajeep]

I have somehow acquired a Canon EF-M camera. Yes, a manual focus Canon body. I was going through my camera room, cleaning up a bit. And there was this dusty shoe box. Has a Sigma 28-70af lens and a Canon 80-200 EF lens. And a Speedlite 200m flash.

Someone must have given it to my wife. And she put it in my photo room???

I guess that means you're now a switch hitter.

Seriously, if you don't want it, consider putting it up for donation, a la Pixmedic. We get a few beginners/students that would appreciate something like this.

as going through my camera room

You have a "Camera Room"???? Man first you post about the new lens and now we find out you have a "Room". Seriously dude, you gotta stop giving the rest of us an inferiority complex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[snowbear]

Yeah - I have part of a drawer.

My sickness goes beyond a camera room. It's actually 2 rooms, and if you count what I have in storage in my outbuilding. 3 rooms. Of course they are not totally full of camera gear. Actually in the process of moving 2 separate areas in 2 rooms to a single room. I would have more gear but I sold my MF equipment over a year ago. But now I realized that was a mistake. As I found exposed and unexposed film in my clean up. Now I need a MF camera to use up the film I have.

1)Acquiring a Canon= a potentially dangereous symptom
2)Wisely your wife recognized potential harm, and foisted the possible vector onto you!

Actually. In the past I errrrrr, ummmm, bought a Canon 20D and several lenses and a speedlight. I shot both systems for about 3 years before I woke up.

Yeah...me too...bought myself a Canon system (20D, 5D, multiple lenses, 580 EX-II speedlight) and used it concurrently with my Nikon stuff for over half a decade..but I got out of it mostly around 2016 by selling off all the lenses. (24-105-L,50,85,100 macro,135/2,135 2.8 Soft Focus, 70-200 2.8 L IS USM) and keeping only the two bodies and an 18-125 Sigma for the 20-D.

EOS-M is now mirrorless

Not an EOS-M. It's a MF film camera from early 90's. EF-M is the model. Guess they didn't make that many with AF already going gangbusters by then.

Ok, looked up Pixmedic and saw a flikr site. I can send the Canon, but I also have 3 Tokina I believe 28-70 MF lenses for Nikon. These are NOS in original boxes! I think one might be missing caps from the box. But they are basically brand new. I might also have a 70-210 Tokina MF NOS lens. I will have to double check on that one. All together probably not worth $100 on ebay. So might as well donate them to a good cause. Would like to know a little bit first.
