5D Classic

I am always on the lookout for a deal, and found a 5DC for a $500 on CL. Looks clean, and seller claims very low shutter count. Hotshoe looks clean, as does the rest of the body.

My 7D and XSi keep me pretty pleased. I think it would be a great addition and I understand the Sigma 30mm is usable with some heavy vignetting, and the 10-22 can be modified to work on FF and used from 14mm and up IIRC. I figure the 85mm and 70-200 could be really nice on FF as well...

Would you pull the trigger?

Thanks!

I would. Alas, no deals like that to find up here.

yes, if it's clean and you've checked it out.

Has it had the mirror fix?

Go for it. The 5Dc is great.

The 5Dc is a great body, but you only really have two lenses that'll work with it and one of them (the 85 1.8) is so-so wide open...(and that's the whole point of owning a lens like that).

What's the serial number on it? The earlier ones had a sensor that was too sensitive to wet cleans and LCD issues...also, they *ALL* needed the mirror fix...

I can also vouch for the 5Dc. It still produces wonderful files.
$500 seems like about what they're going for now. I don't know that I'd call that a "deal" - it's more like the "going rate". Still well worth it, though.

Seller says no repairs made. I have to assume no mirror fix. Dealbreaker?

Per seller 7k clicks and original owner...

no dealbreaker for me-

as far as i know, canon will fix the mirror for free.

DO IT!

Wish I could find a deal like that.

Just offered $450...lets see what happens...

IF you look at the marketplace

Check it out in person and DO IT! The 85 1.8 is SO much better on FF

I bought my 5d classic last year for $900 and then it was by far the best way I've spent on my photography business and hobby alike. For $500 regardless, you can NOT go wrong. To me, this camera is the best Canon has made. I'm talking image wise, not to technology. Put a prime on it and sit back in amazement. DO IT

For $500 I would grab it without a second thought with or without the mirror fix. I am a prime lens person and will 2nd that the 85 f/1.8 is so much better on a FF vs a 1.6x body.
