Indeed it's a great ebay price, but RRP (ECS price) is $6495 .

Congrats though Andrew - you must be pleased with your ebay sales thus far!

These are exceptionally beautiful wedding photographs and a testiment to the skill of the photographer. I don't think they would have failed regardless of which brand of DSLR camera was used provided it had good quality optics.

[quote="mR_CaESaR"]with the great nikon release, do you regret jumping ship?

No mate, i've had five different generation DSLR f-mount bodies hanging off my old nikon glass. During that time, canon released new primes and then updated them, while nikon discontinued their fast WA prime and sat on their hands with their other sub 100mm primes . And today that situation hasn't changed.

I'm just glad i sold 90% of my Nikon gear before today!!!

agree! It worked in his favour to sell before rather than later I think
