Ok... here goes... <takes a big breath>
I started out by selling my 70-200mm f2.8 IS earlier this year on this here forum. It was sold to shachr6 and I hope he is enjoying the lens.
It was painful to see such a nice zoom go away but I now realize that I really don't miss it much. So I'm further selling my investment in Canon by selling my primes. I find more satisfaction in shooting primes attached to a rangefinder. Reducing my Canon EOS DSLR/SLR to work with zooms, macro, and telephoto (all the things not suited for a rangefinder).
24mm f1.4L - $900 ( $1089 new )
50mm f1.4 - $250 ( $289 new + $26 hood)
85mm f1.8 - $270 ( $329 new + $23 hood )
135mm f2L - $850 ( $899 new )
These are outstanding primes... that can create photos with IQ better than even the most expensive zooms. The 24mm is a perfect street shooter on a cropped body... a focal length that you can handhold at slow shutters paired with a fast max aperture. The 50mm f1.4 needs no introduction.. simply wonderful. The 85mm f1.8 is regarded as one of the highest bang for buck lenses in the canon line up... near L quality in build and IQ. Finally.. one of the lenses that has always brought awe is the 135mm f2L. This is the fastest telephoto in canon's currently lineup... SHARP and the Colors!. The 50mm and 85mm both have the optional hoods included. The L primes come with hoods.
Buy the whole set for $2100.
Along with the three primes above, I am also selling another wonderful camera that will be painful to see go. I have determined that no M6 will feel as right in my hands as the ol'M3 of 50 years ago. So I am also selling my M6 Titanium Classic for $1800. This is the earlier classic M6 with a Titanium body. Don't think that there are a lot of leica shooters here but hey.. worth a shot.
I also have Bogen/Manfrotto Neotec 685B for sale. This is a good monopod with the unique one handed operation design. For some reason, I've ended up with two monopods.. I'll sell it for $120 (new $141). Only been used probably once or twice.
Post or PM with questions. All prices are in USD with shipping and insurance to be determined later and added. I prefer to ship within the US and transaction made through Paypal. I have a verified account.
