I have a 70-200mm f/4 for my Sony E-mount and I "MIGHT" just sell the two Canon lenses and use the money to fund a Sony 100-400mm lens. I am tossed up regarding my 70-200mm f/4L IS lens and my 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS ii lens. I will keep a few lenses for them, my 100mm f/2.8 Macro (which I absolutely love using on my 6D2 for focus stacking) and my 28-70mm f/2.8 Tokina ATX (which I also dearly love). I am going to keep the 7D2 and the 6D2 because I really like those cameras. My 7D Mark-2 would not turn on (and thought, "here I go again) but, learned to my great relief that it was the fault of a bad battery charger which registered the battery as charged when it actually had no power. I have been collecting the odds and ends for my camera gear like sorting out the proper batteries and chargers. I couldn't get anything for the lens so I am just giving it to him. This lens is a freak because it will not autofocus on any camera newer than a Canon 10D and Sigma cannot or will not rechip it for more modern cameras,įor some reason, my neighbor always manually focuses when he shoots. I sold a 7D camera and a lens to my next door neighbor and I am giving him an old Sigma Aspherical 28mm f/1.8 lens. I am giving her an old Nikon bridge camera with batteries and a couple of CF Cards. There is a young lady, an unmarried mom with a child who works in my Vets office who told me once that she wished she had a nice camera to take pics of her kid. Selling the gear is a matter of getting rid of it so it is not hanging around taking up space. I have been lucky so far, cataract surgery has drastically improved my vision and with a new knee I can carry all my heavy gear around again, so I am less pressured to sell down. I understand both your intent in selling and respect your determination to do so. Perhaps I shall just start a museum of digital gear one day! Local dealers take between 20-35% of a sale price so for me it's just not worth it. The local site, .nz has been hiking prices up and up, so between that and a lot of tyre kickers, I have not been encouraged to put stuff up for auction. That is, in part, because in NZ we are very isolated physically, so it is harder to get people to look at a purchase from here.
That said I have been incredibly poor at selling gear, as my profile will attest to. I have always kept my gear with the original documentation and packaging for a couple of reasons: when I am not using items they live in their box, but on the few occasions I have sold stuff it has always got a good price because of the packaging and the immaculate condition of the gear.
