sale withdrawn

I have some gear that I just don't use enough, so I figure that I might as well lighten my bag a bit and see if anyone out there would be interested.

http://www.wackojackho.com/files/for_sale/_MG_6492.JPG

First up, my canon 10-22 efs. I bought this used back in April of this year, and have used it sparingly on a couple of holiday trips. If you want WIDE on a crop body, this is the lens to have. No marks on the lens at all, indistinguishable from new. Excellent colors, handles flare brilliantly, solid build, sharp etc etc. Complete with everything in and including the box, also with the original receipt (was purchased locally at the Camera Store back in Dec 2005). Still sells for $969+tax at the Camera Store (http://www.thecamerastore.com/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=31359). $700 firm Calgary pickup, or will ship at buyers expense.

Second up, my Gitzo G-1157 Mountaineer Sport 6X Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs (Rapid Column). Picked this up brand new in April, barely used. Comes complete with everything except the box. The 6X CF makes it stronger and lighter than their other CF lines. Weighs less than 2.5 lbs and supports just under 10 lbs. Non-rotating legs make extending and retracting the legs a breeze. I had my 20d + grip + 24-105 + 420ex on this without any problems. A really great tripod that just doesn't get enough use. Cheapest price I could find was $369 USD (~$430 CAD + tax + shipping) at BHPhoto (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=Search&A=details&Q=&sku=410255&is=REG&addedTroughType=search). $375 firm Calgary pickup, or will ship at buyers expense.

peleng 8mm f3.5 fisheye. Comes with box and original russian instructions, front and rear cap, carry case and 3 screw on rear filters, with canon ef mount adaptor. Really fun lens as a few of the other owners here can attest. They all seem to be going for > $300 + shipping on eBay (http://search.ebay.ca/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&catref=C6&from=R10&satitle=fisheye+canon+peleng&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D3&sadis=200&fpos=T3A+1B5&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsop=1%26fsoo%3D1&coaction=compare&copagenum=1&coentrypage=search&fgtp=). $250 local calgary pickup, shipping at buyers expense. Someone buy this quick, it's painful to let this one go.

canon bg-e2 grip for 20d/30d. Comes with AA battery cartridge, box etc. Never had a problem with it, great for portraits. Currently sells for
$289 at The Camera Store (http://www.thecamerastore.com/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=31650). $180 local Calgary pick up, shipping at buyers expense.

canon 24-105 f4L. Combined with the 10-22 makes the perfect travel combo. This was my workhorse lens, on my camera 90% of the time. The IS is good for 3 stops, maybe 4 if you have steady hands. Everything that an L lens should be. Purchased brand new from Vistek in April. Comes complete with everything, lens pouch has never been removed from the plastic and is still new in box. No marks on the barrel or the front or rear elements. The lens however was mounted on my camera and in my bag when it was dropped. The ring around the front element shows the result. There are a few marks made by the inside of the front lens cap, you can see them in the pic. Does not affect the lens at all, no dent to the front threads, use a polarizing filter with no issues. Lens retails for $1379 + tax at the Camera Store (http://www.thecamerastore.com/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=31647). I paid $1500 with tax in april, still have the reciept as well. $1275 local pickup.

B+W MRC Circular Polarizer 77mm. Bought this new on holiday in April as well. Works on both the 24-105 and the 10-22 (have not noticed much vignetting with the 10-22, but I don't use it much on the ultrawide and at 10mm). Opted for the regular polarizer vs the slim because the slim has no front threads and cannot be capped with a regular lens cap. I use this sparringly, no marks on the glass or the threads. Sells for $265+tax at Vistek (http://www.vistek.ca/details/details.aspx?WebCode=216681&CategoryID=CameraFilters) $225 local pickup.

24-105 + B+W polarizer for $1475.

prices are pretty firm, as I think they are pretty fair.

edit: added peleng fisheye and bg-e2 grip

May be interested in the 8mm Peleng after Christmas of course, if you choose to put it up for sale... :)

I've had a few inquires about the peleng. I haven't decided if I'm going to get rid of it just yet. I'm planning on just keeping the 20D and 50 1.8, but the fish is alot of fun.

Still coming to terms with selling my gear.

Does the peleng 8mm f3.5 fisheye fit a Canon 350D (D Rebel XT)?

Thanks.

Are you bringing it out to the meet tomorrow?

For some reason my old boss was bashing that lens when someone started posting pics from it 2 years ago...

I'd also have to wait til after X-mas.....
Either this or a 28mm 1.8

I'll bring most of the gear to the meet tomorrow. Planning on bringing the 10-22, 24-105, peleng and tripod. Nothing to see with the grip.

Sorry to break it to you, but you wouldn't first, second or third in line if I change my mind. I've had plenty of interest in the fish, all before your pm. Sides, you never could find the cash and the time to meet up for those filters, so you'll have to pardon me if I don't think that you'd come through for the fish.

But that's besides the point. I'll re-evalute in the new year, until then everything is staying put.
