-=1D Classic Lovers !!!

stephen_g, no need to convince me on the cybersyncs- I have seen your work which is a lot of the reason I am wanting them to begin with lol I will see what I can get out of my Dlites and hopefully it's enough to cover my new "strobist" setup(damn cult!) and cybersyncs.
b_ron, I like to shoot outdoors and with wider apertures <f/4 so being able to crank the shutter speed up to reduce the ambient light is very valuable to me. This is the same principal as using a ND filter only you're not losing any light just changing settings to get thin DOF.

my BGN rated 1d came in the mail today

are you happy with it?

certainly judging by the condition you should be.

i havn't shot mine in anger yet apart from doing some silly test shots.

very happy. I wasn't expecting the condition to be this good.

there's like noo wear at all around the shutter button (most 1D have that wear around that circular edge)

Here's my little beauty, I might just pick up a lens for it, this thread got my excited to use it again.

You don't have to spend much on flashes etc. I use Nikon SB's (24 and 28) and a Canon 540EZ, though I like the SB-28 the most.

There's a pretty beat up 1d at a local consignment shop for $285. I bet I could talk him down to $250 but I don't wanna go through w/ the shutter replacement. Maybe...

You can't get replacement shutters anymore.
