Congrats on the new camera. Sounds like you got a pretty decent deal.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.

Congrats! Good price and you will love it, it's one of the best cameras out there, maybe even the best.

Yes you got a excellent camera for a wonderful price.

To think that these less than 6 months ago were still commanding prices around $3500-4000.

Im each day still amazed at how well it has performed for me.

Have fun with it as it will produce beautiful shots.

Thanks everyone. I just realized it also comes with a canon hand strap and 1.5 years left of the warranty. I have the week off and have been on ebay the whole time. He just listed it and I bought it in less then 10minutes. The ups man is going to be trilled when I start stalking him again this week. LOL

P.S. So where is the 1D thread or group I hear so much about?

My dream camera, my fantasy, the one I pine over and the one I've been able to borrow for several months, putting maybe 6 or 7,000 frames and really, really love it. Congratulations.

So it is you. Then back to my post. No 85L for a while. Plus there is no one around me with one to try out. :)

Thanks for the link. Will be awhile before I can fall asleep.
