Be Creative Photography Blog – Weddings and Portraits by Brooke & Eric Lagstein » Be Creative Photography Blog, Wedding and Portrait Photographer by Eric & Brooke Lagstein in Wyckoff, NJ

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.

Canon 5d – $975  (Good condition, minor scuffs on the bottom of the camera in the corners, includes 3 batteries which are so-so condition)
