Geoff - I think not - 9 days to go and it’s at $4,000 already

Did you see his other stuff 70-200 VR and tc and so on? Looks like he getting out of Nikon.

Just purchased the 70-200 VR from him

Got it in my hand right now. Very Nice , awsome lens..... Now next item ..... 1.7TC ??? - Birddog may be ..... BTW, he is moving to Canon. He will put a lot more gears to ebay next week ( due to Compatiblity with his Company )

I think Kodak DSLR, 17-35, 85 F1.4, 300 2.8 AF-S, and more.

So if anyone interested get intouch with him early. Good luck.

So how many 70-200VR does he have?
Sold to you one and still another one on eBay from his selling?

He will cancel the Ebay auction tonight or tomorrow.
He has a lot of primes for sale very soon. ..... more lens lust
 BTW, Birddog , my 70-200 VR is naked- I needed a UV filter or CP. Can you recomend me which one and how much ????. Thanks.

PMed!!!!

Hey the 300MM AF-S might be of interest to BBJ if it's series I or II.
What other primes did he have?

I think the 300 is a series 1. PM me if you want his mobile.

Just PM you.

Thanks, I passed on the info to BBJ. Think he wants to talk to you about the condition of the lens you bought off the bloke, in regards to the condition recieved (it is in) compared to the way the bloke disribed it (ie. is the bloke genuine or shonkey

The item I received as exactly described in Ebay. I think the guy is trust worthy. He's is a pro and look after his gears. Highly recomended.

PM sent pl55, and sent msg to the fellow so yeh will see what happens.

He is a wedding photographer and also shoots other stuff http://www.catoandpade.com.au/ & http://www.gavincato.com/

Thanks Vince mate will have a gander.

Cool I've contacted him about a couple of primes...hopefully he'll have them

Good find Shutterbug.

I liked this bit from his site.

This page is here as I regularly recieve emails from other photographers asking what gear I use so I thought I'd leave it online to save a bit of time.

I will include info on the gear I have had a decent amount of time to work with, and will not rant on about gear that I've never touched, like some people.

The link is Ken Rockwells site.LOL

I believe BBJ is the proud new owner of a 300MM F2.8 and TC

Kipper I believe you are right... I know I have had an email about it!!! With the TC I though he wouldn't have to leave his car to take those bike shots!

U may be right, Jonesy i will be able just about when it rains at MotoX and maybe at the track as well. Darryl i will have fun with it.

Ok better get off got visitors and watching my footy, Go The Power.

Congrat BBJ on your new toys :lol
I'm in luv with my new toy too

Congrats Big Bad John - hopefully we shall see some excellent shots from you real soon

Congrats BBJ!

Hi guys,

I'm the seller of these items and thought I'd drop in as both john & peter mentioned this forum to me. thanks john & peter.

The stuff I have that is not on Ebay yet is ;

- 2 x sb800's ($425 each or $800 for both)
- SC-29 cord ($90)
- MC-30 remote cord ($50)
- 17-35/2.8 (excellent example as well, no fringing like a friends version - make an offer, not really sure. 3 years old, no marks.)
- 60/2.8 macro (perfect optically, some light marks of use on lens exterior) $380
- 85/1.4 (pretty much in brand new condition, about 18 months old but treated like a baby - my fave lens) $1000

the other stuff on ebay will stay there, I recieved a bit of flack for pulling the 70-200 and probably should have left it there, some people were a bit peeved!

cheers guys

Gav

oh, I forgot - I'll be selling the LOVELY kodak slr/n which has been my best dslr out of the many I have owned. But that'll be a ebay thing I think as I have no idea how much these puppies are worth.

Thanks Gav, yeh mate maybe if you do put more on there mate put a thing there advertised elsewhere and you have the right to pull item that way covers ya butt mate if you did sell it. But yeh who knows some of our members maybe interested.
Cheers
John

Hi Gavin,
Welcome to this forum. And thanks for the 70-200 vr I luv the lens.

.......

Gav, tell them to get over it. As a buyer I got peeved when nobody bidded on my 70-200VR. Sometimes you get the breaks, sometimes you don't

Thanks Birdy and Chris, i am sure i will enjoy it, like everything else it will get lots of use.

Congrats on your purchases BBJ - can't wait for the bike pix!

Thanks Trev, it will get put to good use. It will help on those dull days we have down here and well you know me there will always be bike pics and i have abit on in the next few weeks so it will come in handy, just have to get a better body to drive it at a later stage.

not meaning to sound rude, but could people only mail me if they are actually serious to buy, have had a few people mail me asking about the gear but not being serious in the end, just a waste of time for both.

cheers

Gav

Well I apologise for pming you in regards to the SC-29. Just wasn't overly sure about buying it due to not many people I know using it for what I do. It might work fine, but I didn't want to buy it then have to resell it.

no kipper not you mate

Oh just people having a sticky beak to see what you've got.....Roffle.

Sounds like all the people who just watch eBay items but never have the intention of buying them

Gavin,
Great to see you've joined here!
Haven't heard from you since the D100 era from DPR, I knew you sold the D100 and upgraded to the D2h then and D2x lately, now you're parting it again, switch to Canon? what? 1Ds MKII?
Hope and wish you enjoy your stay on this board.

hi,

Sorry I don't remember you, not by that name anyway

starting with a couple of 5D's and then later down the track I'll grab a 1Ds MK2 when I see one at an ok price.

not very happy about "leaving" but sick of using a bunch of different bodies to do what I need on the nikon mount.

cheers

Gav

I were there at the time of the whole bunch of good guys as JonathanF, etc... Then JonathanF got robbed his D100 from his car, it was a good time there with all you guys, true photographic forum and camaraderies.
Now, it's a big difference, hardly posting there again, I use the same nickname as my callsign on DPR.
I remembered you got the 200/f4 from B&H at one of the rainy days and took a shot of flower in your garden from your windows or something, and generously to loan your 85/1.4 to one of the guy in Sydney, it was few years now.
Well, hope will meet you at one day!!!!

Gavin, please post the photos from the 5D once you have it in your hand!!!!

Ahh yes that was a long time ago

That 200/4 was an insane lens! I sold it as I never used it, but boy in it's intended area it's unbelievable.

I didn't know this forum existed, it looks good as it's mostly aussies, DPReview can get a bit annoying sometimes. I might check out one of the sydney meets one day, I'll have to disguise my 5D as a d100 though to avoid getting a beating

No, you won't get a beating.

Just don't expect to leave with it.

Hey Gavin, good to see you on the board
