thursday 1 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Kuma, has there been a sharp drop your end? Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 yeah, i had the drop a month ago (but i have vip status ) Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Would you guys ever be tempted by "used" cameras or something perhaps to avoid (for whatever reason)? This thread has tweaked my interest a bit as well Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 maybe...but not really. used lenses are good though Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Thanks. Thought that might be the case. Seems (perhaps incorrectly) that some of the lenses in the shops have been out for years and years and still sell. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 be carefula bout used stuff, some may have been dropped. Some may have been moulded upon. I have neglected my stuff enough to have done both. My conscience prevents me from selling on the used market. Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 just scored a 50mm 1.4 AF used for 15000 free shipping on the auctions. will have to see what sort of shape it's in when it gets here Link to post Share on other sites

Kumapix 0 Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 not if you focus at infinity. but even at 2.8 if you have 2 subjects that are not in line then one gets out of focus Link to post Share on other sites
