Canon SALE!!! Everything must go!!

Well, after a lot of deliberation, I (Eric) am switching to Nikon.  It’s been a very tough decision, but for my shooting style it just makes sense.  Brooke, she will be staying with Canon (she claims Nikon cameras were designed for mens hands).  So we are a bi studio:) Yowzers!

All equipment are top quality optics, receiving yearly calibration.  Whenever I buy a lens, I buy three of them, test them and pick/keep the one that is the best optics, the rest get returned (yes I’m that crazy about sharpness).  Everything is in very good to perfect condition, some have with minor scuffs but all are working perfectly.

SOLD – Canon 5dmkII – $2100   (Excellent condition, includes box, strap, 2 canon batteries in excellent condition)
Canon 5d – $975  (Good condition, minor scuffs on the bottom of the camera in the corners, includes 3 batteries which are so-so condition)

Rammal - Can you please let me know the details of 85mm 1.2? I would really want to buy it from you. :)

Steve - Grand Rapids Wedding Photographer - Oh man, I want them all!!! It always makes me a little nervous when I see people switching to Nikon. I just recently invested in a Canon 5DII and 24-70, but posts like this make me wonder if I would have been better of going Nikon…

Eric - Hi Guys,

I switched because I found Canon focus to be a little hit and miss, as well as generally I found Canon to have quality control issues. With Canon I felt like I always had to be on my toes watching closely to make sure something wasn’t acting funky.

With Nikon, I really trust my equipment, I trust is will focus well. Which allows me as an artist to push myself. I can shoot wide open and know I’m going to nail the shot. Where with Canon I would be safe and choose a higher f/stop then I would desire artistically.

Beatrice de Guigne - Oh! Why do you change?
Just want to say you do an amazing work and Nikon or Canon it’s not important. you’ve got talent!

Carl Simpson - Ugg, boy I would love that 85mm… and that 50. I have the cheapo 1.8. Nice set of lenses here.

Ben - hey eric, my business partner shoots canon, and i’m nikon. But looking forward to switch to canon coz i think it will be easier for both. Although I really like the ergonomics of nikon. What is it that makes you want to switch to nikon? Is it the fast focusing in low light and good controls/buttons outside?

Alyssa Andrew - Interested in the 85 if you still have it! Let me know

ebphoto | photographe Bruxelles - Darn, too bad it’s so late. I was interested in a few of your lenses. Funny though, I also want to switch to Nikon but my wife/partner/second shooter doesn’t want to. I’m hoping for a wonderful 1DsmkIV by the end of the year, otherwise, a D3s (or even D700) would be VERY tempting.

Nirav - Dang it! I wanted to 5D Mark 2. Haha.

Joseph Bayot - Ah, I really wish I had some extra money lying around. I would LOVE to finally upgrade my 4-year-old Rebel XT to the 5D2 (or even the 5D classic…)

By the time I save up enough money, the 5D3 will probably be out!

Good luck with the sales!

Jenny J - So tempting! Arrrrrrrghhh. I want it all.
