Since really enjoying my last studio shoot I have had a radical change in direction of where I want to go with photography. Previously I was mainly interested in wildlife and motorsport, but now I want to do more in the studio.
So, this has also changed my thinking about moving forward with a new camera. I had my heart set on a 40D, but now I'm feeling the pull of the luxury that is "full frame", and want a 5D instead.
So, I have set a budget of around £2k, for the following:
This is going to push me into "used" territory for the 5D. I've been looking on Ebay at used kit, and I think that I could find one at the right price, but wondered if anybody could suggest any retailers that generally have a good selection of used equipment, and what your thoughts are on buying such an expensive item "2nd hand". ??
If I decide to save for a bit more and get a new 5D, maybe the 5D Mk II will be here then (but I won't hold my breath)
Thanks,
Steve
