 |
|
This film camera is in excellent condition. The body has some paint worn off, but that's only cosmetic. The shutter is sharp and the curtain is perfect. The two included lenses (both are Canon) are: (1) 35-70mm f/4-22; and, (2) 100-200mm f/5.6-32. 200000 KRW

I gotta be honest, While this is nice gear....it is film. I bought the same camera and lens (didn't get the 35-70...although at the time this lens cost no more than 100$, I have a 28-80mm for 120$) when digital cameras were crap for what you're asking now. Those of us with nice old gear like this are a bit out of luck because everyone has dumped their old gear on the market and no ones buying.
although you could advertise it as a 25mega pixel 35mm camera and see what happens. |

| Wow! With a reply like this I'm starting to think the rumors of people wasting loads of time on this site are false. Tip...if you're interested in the camera then let me know, if not then keep on your way. |

It's over priced and I thought I'd let him know he should do a little research. Either that or I'm trying to warn people that this is a rip off.....
I was trying to be polite and not treat the guy like an arse who's trying to rip people off...but it seems the OP is an arse and is trying to rip people off.....if you don't like what I'm saying, take your junk somewhere else, or do the right thing and lower the price.
I'll mind my own business when arses stop overpricing their garage sale items.
Body - 100$
100-200mm FD lens (f5.6) 60$
35-75mm FD lens (f4) 40$
This camera is more than 20 years old, stopped making them in 1985.
It is a fantastic camera though, I love mine, but you are being an arse asking for double what its worth. You are offereing the camera at 1998 prices not 2008 prices. Get a grip.
Twice the price is a blatant rip off and I feel the urge to call you on it.
And you know what I don't even shoot digital. I still use my Canon F-1. Far better resolution 25 mega pixels!!!!!
I would urge anyone who like photography to buy this camera...just not at this price. |

| Earthbound, if you were an acute reader you might have realized that I started the price at 400000KRW. I'm treating this forum as some sort of a market economy. Thus, I'm not forcing anyone to buy it at a specific price; or, at all. I wasn't aware that Dave's had it's very own branch of the Better Business Bureau. |

Aha! So you're following the persian carpet salesman school of economics!
Special deal for you my friend! Only 400,000! You no like? Come on, come on, friend... I'll make you a deal! ok?
Basically you were looking for a sucker and are now upset that you were called on it.
FWIW I bought a film camera on Dave's last year -- a Nikon N80, a bag full of film (like 15 rolls of velvia, superia, TMAX, etc.) remote release, grip, batteries, etc -- for a whole .. um .. I think it was 100,000. This is a fairly modern mid-range AF body with matrix metering and support for pretty much any lens you throw at it.
Because Canon changed the lens mount when they implemented auto-focus, those old manual-focus canon lenses are pretty close to worthless.
200,000 would have been a good starting point. |

| To appease those of you who seem to have degrees in business law, but are over here teaching, I'm removing the STARTING price. However, my philosophy remains unchanged. If you're interested in the camera, make an offer. If you're not interested, go about your way. |

not business law....it's called using the internet to see what the current market value is before you sell. |

| mea culpa: I began this sale with a mistaken vision of the final outcome. As a result I have cut the asking price by half. For the camera body, two lenses, and a few extras (couple rolls of film, extra battery, and cleaning supplies) I will try 200000KRW. |
