tropical posted:Yeah the Domke Gripper looks pretty nice. I was looking at buying one before Christmas but never got around to it. Do I want a 1.5" for my 6D? I usually have my 35mm f/1.4 on the camera when I'm out. I'm pretty sure mine is the 1.5" and I've had no trouble with a similarly-sized rig.

Baron Dirigible posted:I posted said item! BUT I should have done my due diligence and looked up whether I could send a battery out of the country. Had to remove that at the post office. I ran into a similar issue. Soulex posted:So. After arguing and research. My 70D is finally on the way over here. To add on this, when shipping to a physical address overseas, some countries still have bans in place for said batteries. You can do one of two things. What I mentioned above, or just not saying anything. The whole situation is stupid because America will accept lithium batteries, so I guess lithium batteries are only a danger one way. Also despite the information I received, there are still "Don't ship Lithium Batteries" posters over the post offices. I guess most clerks aren't caught up on their regs.

I definitely liked the Black Rapid strap, but the C-SLR one is the same price and it feels more comfortable and well-constructed. There was a goon in one of the other threads with a Black Rapid strap. The lockring unthreaded itself and he somehow got into a situation where the camera wiggled out of the carabiner. Fortunately he made a lucky catch, but even if a situation like that is really unlikely, I'd rather not run that chance.

SoundMonkey posted:Yeah not even a tiny bit of that material has ever fallen off of mine. Nor does it look any different than the day I bought it, actually. The Canon strap doesn't fall apart like Nikon straps, it just leaves marks. Sort of like how some shoes mark the floor and some don't, but both last basically forever.

Bubbacub posted:I definitely liked the Black Rapid strap, but the C-SLR one is the same price and it feels more comfortable and well-constructed. I have a black rapid. It was awesome. So much better than the neck strap. I used it with my Canon 5D and even had it rigged to the 100-400mm L lens, which is a pretty big lens. No problemo. If you were walking at a pace you mght have to hold the camera with your hand a bit to stop it swinging around with momentum but I travelled with it and went to some festivals and it was fine. Really good piece of gear. Never had a problem with the carabiner. I'm curious to see if the rapid will be safe to use on my hasselblad but I'm too worried all the swinging will mess it up.

The capture pro gets used whenever I'm going to be walking or hiking or doing anything where I can't afford to have a camera flopping around. It's awesome.

Still got a Voigtlander 15mm f/4.5 with a bessa L and viewfinder. The base of the viewfinder was damaged as some point and has been repaired with some heavy duty gorilla glue, should be a-ok now. Also comes with the nifty grip for the Bessa. $375 shipped!?? Or trades? I can also throw in a M43 or NEX adapter for the lens!

Goons and goonettes, help a brother out by buying my used gear. I really want to buy a backup for my Blackmagic Camera and I have no need for this Canon stuff, so spend your monies on this stuff! Everything listed includes shipping to anywhere in the continental United States - I'm shipping out of San Diego so if you're an especially impatient babby I can also meet you (maybe) if you live on the coast and between LA and SD. Apologies for the fuzzies, the white cloth I have at work sheds like crazy and I forgot my microfiber cloth. Gripped T2i - $275   ~9000 clicks. As you can see, there's a couple scratches on the glass in front of the LCD, but otherwise everything else is in good shape. You can get a replacement cover on ebay if it bugs you I guess  I have all the original boxes, accessories, and manuals. One Canon battery + 2 chinese knockoff batteries + knockoff grip. Sigma 30mm 1.4 (NOT the ART version), EF Mount - $275  There's a couple specs of dust inside the lens, but this hasn't affected IQ as far as I can tell. I can take some photos if you need a test here. I have the original box, lens hood, caps, and soft case. Canon 10-22mm EF-S - $500  A great, sharp lens. Pretty much flawless. With the original caps. Also, I randomly have a Panasonic 14-140 OIS lens that came with a GH2. I am not sure what to price this at since prices seem to be all over the place for this, but does $400 sound good?  BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE. If you buy all the Canon stuff in one go, I'll knock the whole lot down to $850. Save money and get some nice glass for babby's first DSLR.

Since this battery-shipping thing seems to be a problem that's actually real, can we agree in a thread rules sense that if the battery can't be shipped, the item should be discounted for an amount that is 1/2 the price of a first-party battery on Amazon?

Thread rules updated. Should you be unable to ship a battery due to the laws of either your country or the buyer's, you should (strong suggestion) subtract half the Amazon price of a first party battery from the total amount. The buyer is free to refuse this discount if they want to be nice, but you're required to offer it. Luckily this only affects a few countries so it's probably not a big deal. Sell the battery to some retard on craigslist or something.

Verman posted:So we have a "lithium battery" theory now? No one knows poo poo, but the plane did have a shipment of lithium batteries on board so I would guess they're now going to be trying to minimize the number of batteries they carry. Basically airlines love to fret about safety as long as it inconveniences and costs someone else. If there's the least possible chance that a lithium battery started a fire, or listening to your iPod might somehow hypothetically cause interference in the landing system, you better believe that poo poo's getting banned in a heartbeat. Now getting them to carry a single drop of spare fuel, use parts manufactured and installed to FAA specifications, or pay their pilots enough that they're not working a second job and falling asleep while flying the plane, well, they're not made of money!

I said I was going to sell it, so here we are: It's a BlackRapid Sport with two FasternR-3's. I used it once, if even that. It looks like the strap is $73 new and the extra connectors are $13. Does someone want the kit for $60 shipped in the US? Unrelated edit: is anyone in the market for an EF 17-40mm f/4L? I bought it for landscapes, but ever since I picked up the TS-E 24mm, the zoom rarely gets used. I'll collect the box, accessories, and some photos of it if there's any interest.

I'm considering selling my 50D, but am not quite sure what to price it at. It randomly shows up with an Error30, which looks like a shutter issue, 1 out of every 20-30 photos. Is it even worth selling at this point?
