Yes, I was on the pneumatic BiVAD so it wasn't easily concealed like the LVAD and difficult to get around.

NaDy posted:I've found that the type of people photographers usually are are the ones who geniunely try to take care of their equipment, especially when trying to sell it. All the second hand equipment I've got has been totally fine, and a lot cheaper than new. A few years ago I bought a 24-70 for about ~$850. It was in great shape. After 6 months I didn't like the lens and rarely used it and decided to sell it for $950. A Saucy Bratwurst posted:I guess as well I'm having trouble seeing how the 1200d can be so bad that I'm better off buying a 40d, which is several generations old if I understand it right (50, 60, 70). Surely a 40d would have been used enough that the shutter would be prone to failure? If you're taking photos at high noon of still objects, the 1200d/T5 will be fine - I don't know what sensor it has so it may be okay to shoot through late afternoon as well. If you're planning on shooting a lot you're going to notice the limitations of this camera very quickly and in a week you'll already be saving to buy a better body instead of looking at a decent lens. The 40D has a bigger and better body & build, it's definitely more ergonomic if you have larger than average hands. There are programs that can give you an actuation count. Shutters are rated for 100k and you can knock the gently caress out of someone with the body without damaging it. geeves fucked around with this message at 14:37 on Jul 9, 2015 |

triplexpac posted:Any tips on buying a used lens off Craigslist? I'm not sure how I would be able to test it and really know if there was anything wrong Meet at a Starbucks or something during the day. Inspect it, then take a handful of shots at different apertures and load them on to your laptop or just use the LCD to look for anything glaringly bad. Make sure the AF is working. Try different focusing points. A good seller shouldn't mind spending an extra 10 minutes for you to pixel peep as you make sure you're buying something solid. On the other hand I sold a lens to someone in a Sunoco parking lot at 11pm because they were in a hurry.

SMERSH Mouth posted:I'm not sure they're such a bad deal, really. The T1000 at least had a liquid metal coating, and could change its form based on what was needed. Extreme heat is always a problem though. But It could really take day to day damage.

Thoogsby posted:Those sites always seem to be geared towards the obsessive pixel-peeping crowd, I generally buy lenses based on word of mouth reputation and it hasn't burned me yet. Pretty much this. I've been able to borrow a friend's lens and test it out for a day or rent it for a weekend from lens rentals before dropping 1k+. I'd rather spend the ~$100 testing out a lens to make sure I like the result than blindly dropping the full amount for a lens based on some internet reviews of lines on a poster board. My prime example is the Sigma 35 f/1.4 that a lot of people were salivating over. Something was just off about the result of the photos that just bugged me so I went the 35L.

somnambulist posted:Ugh. Every direction I turn, medium format truly feels like the direction I should be going in. I just feel like we're in this transition phase where medium format is getting much more affordable and in a few years, we'll have options that don't cost 20-30k (like the Pentax 645z) Last summer, I treated myself to the 5Ds but a bit of buyers remorse when I wondered the same thing - that I could have waited and gone with a Pentax med format to try something different.
