Did I get a good deal??

Just purchased a 10D body( for backup) with 1400 actuations on it + a 12 month old EF 17-40mm f/4 L series lens all boxed with manuals, cables etc for £500 ($850). I only really wanted the lens but he wouldn't split it. The guy did look like he had a tear in his eye when I took it off him.

I think thats a great deal. Have you gone out shooting with the new setup for a day? I just hope he took good care of that awsome lens =).

That is a really good deal you essentially got the 10D free!

No kidding! That's an excellent deal. Enjoy your new camera and lens.

Wow that is awesome!

WOW! Like Napolean Dynamite would say, "LUCKY!"

I don't know much at all about this stuff, but this morning I paid $828 to B&H for a new XT with lens kit, spare battery, UV filter and 1 gig chip. For $50 more, I would have jumped on your deal in a New York minute!

You definately got an awesome deal!! Congrats on the new purchase!

Did you really post this to find out of you got a good deal or just to "stick it to" the rest of us?

OOps, looks like you may have found me out!!

I never use the word awesome, but this deal really is. And you'll love the 10D as back up. It's still a great camera.

That's a great deal. Nice find.

Don't ask silly questions John lol

More importantly, does this person have anything else up for sale
Good job!

Thats less than I spent on my 350D and kit lens.

Damn your lucky...

do you want to give me the 10D, seeing as you didn't want it and all
