After a series of medical wake-up calls for me and those close to me I embarked, in April, on a program of getting healthier. There’s a thousand books with a thousand diets that all seem about one thousandth as interesting as eating nothing but organically grown free range moss.

So it’s given me back my love of photography - but my 7D and are are parting ways. I’ve ordered a 5D MkII and thus I’m selling my 7D and it’s lenses - You can find me online at @doug_ellison
Here’s what’s up for grabs, with the price I’m expecting to get for them - plus postage to the lower 48. I’ll update this entry as and when things get sold!
- Canon 7D Body, boxed, battery, charger, cables ( $1,000 )
- EF-S 10-22mm F/3.5-4.5 USM boxed( $600 )
- EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM boxed ( $300 )
- EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM UD no box ( $550 )
Prices are based on the lowest ‘used’ prices on Amazon - a fair deal, don’t you think?
As for what the 7D and it’s friends can do…well…take a look here at my SmugMug page
