p.1 #1 · FS: Metz 54MZ4 + Battery, Odds&Ends


I've decided to sell all my equipment before I move.

Here we go...

Canon 10D.
Bought secondhand on here with 5k on the shutter. It was a backup camera for a working pro. I've since put about 10k on it so it's got about 16k on the shutter. I've used it for street photography, product shots, and travel landscapes.
Functions perfectly. I've used mostly primes on it so in the past year and a half I've only cleaned off like one speck of dust off the sensor. It seems exceptionally well-sealed.
There's some finish wear on it on the sides and on the back from a strap and a Hoodman LCD cover (not included). It comes with the following items listed immediately below:
-Everything that came in the box
-Four CF cards (Lexar 80X 1GB, Lexar 80X 512mb, 2x Sandisk UltraII 512MB)
-Four batteries (two third party, two canon, four total).
-Two Op/Tech card pouches
-Hard waterproof card case
-Manfrotto Rocket duster
Basically, it's perfect functionally but not cosmetically. If you actually use your camera, that's means it's great. I've taken several hundred amazing keepers with it and you can bet your bottom dollar that it's got some of the best pixels around.
There's pictures now on page 2. That's dust and not dirt on it in the pictures.

Sigma 30 1.4
Bought new from B&H like two months ago. I've taken it out maybe a half a dozen times since then. Stunningly sharp. Equal if not better than the two 35L's I've owned (definitely better than the first one!). I'm one of those people who is really picky about getting a good copy and this one is STELLAR. If you're looking for a great copy this one is it. Comes with:
-Everything that came in the box
-B+W 62mm UV.
-Op/Tech Hood Hat

Sigma 20 1.8
Bought secondhand on here. Tested exceptionally against Guy Mancuso and Joe Mama's copies. From my experience, it easily bests any AF wide angle I've ever mounted to my camera (and that's a lot!). I could talk for days about this one but the proof is in the results you'll get...
Comes with:
-Everything that came in the box
-Tamron center-pinch 82mm lens cap
-Op/Tech Hood Hat

Metz 54MZ4 M3 w/ Al Jacobs Black Box.
An amazingly accurate and consistent flash unit with two separate bulbs in it. The Black Box battery is equally exceptional, and I've never emptied it completely, even during long events. If you don't know what either of these are, lots of wedding and event pro's swear by them. If you don't have a Canon, you can swap out the foot for something else. That said, the SCA3102 foot is an M2 model that's been upgraded to M3 firmware at Bogen Imaging for compatibility with the latest cameras. They've also installed a modified door with a hole for the Black Box power cable.
Comes with:
-Flash unit
-Black Box battery, charger, belt clip
-Neutral density filter for lower reflector on flash
-Original battery door for flash
-Modified lightning-bolt guitar strap for battery

Canon BG-ED3 Battery Grip
Great condition.

Domke J-3
Best bag I've ever owned. Will easily contain everything shown and then some.
Comes with:
-Bag
-original inserts (main compartment and side pockets
-additional Domke 3-pocket insert for center compartment
-Domke small add-on pouch
-extra domke handle
-the Domke accessory shoulder pad (only if i can find it)

Canon Off-Shoe Cord 2
LNIB.

Gary Fong Lightsphere II w/dome insert

Westcott Micro Apollo on-flash softbox
A really nice little on-flash softbox for shooting product

Impact 11.5" Collapsible reflector (silver/white)
Used only indoors and only on a few occasions.

Loreo Lens in a Cap, Canon mount
Basically an adjustable-aperture pinhole lenscap for Canon cameras. Parfocal at five feet. f/5.6-64
For sure it's much sharper than the Canon lens cap!

Rothco police search gloves.
Best shooting gloves ever. Stick like glue to cameras and lenses. You sports guys would love these. Size medium, used like twice.

Canon Hand Strap E-1

HiTech 0.6 hard edge rectangular ND grad filter for Cokin P system

Cokin P Wide Angle Filter Holder

Ultraclamp window/table swivel mount
This is like the most useful thing ever. Will hold a camera with grip and a good size lens, even. Incredible product.

Adapter rings:
-58mm to Cokin P
-82mm to Cokin P
-72mm to 58mm step down
-58mm to 58mm macro coupler

Pricing is shipping and paypal inclusive in the CONUS. PAYPAL ONLY. I WILL NOT SHIP OUTSIDE THE CONUS EVEN IF YOU OFFER TO PAY. Sorry.

How much for the scrabble?




I would take that 30 1.4 if I weren't trying to save my pennies.

I forgot to mention... my one-off woodland camo Op/Tech strap doesn't come with the 10D.

The camera's actual condition is far better than the harsh flash pictures would have you believe.

Adapter rings and flash/battery are no longer pending.

Loreon Lens in a Cap still available. Make me an offer on it if you want.

I'd love to get this cleared out tonight!
