a better price than Auckland camera!

Speaking about AC: I was there, this morning, asking how much would they value my 10-22 in case I would like trading it for a 16-35. The answer was about $400, provided my lens is in perfect conditions. Is that normal? Were they pulling my legs? I told them "no, thanks", of course. :/

here's a question for all of those ordering batterys. currently how many do you have? I have a total of 4, which means that if I am out and about with the battery grip I have a backup.

"Normal" for A.C. is to offer folks approx 50% of what they could sell the gear for.
This means it is probably not the best place to offload second hand in terms of price, but on the other hand it may be less hassle than other options. I offloaded my D60 there and a couple of pretty average kit lenses, I could almost certainly got more on Trademe.


some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

4 batterys is always good. can be sure that at least one is charged at any given time. Or if your lazy like me and can't be bothered charging them up :)

So what is everyone up to this weekend.

Moppie has given me ideas for a softbox, which I might try out this weekend. Got everything I need. the good thing is dell monitors come in a plastic wrap which is white. I am hoping that it defuses the light nicely.

They don't have it any more :(

because I do :cool:

looks like it has had little if no use, from the caps it looks like it has spent more time rolling around the bottom of a bag than on a camera.

Good to know, thanks.
Well, maybe they are happy doing so because they know that their prices are the best I can find, and so they expect me to buy the 16-35 at AC anyway... but of course before doing that I'll have a look somewhere else!
