No
Just got hold of a Mint condition Mk2 1Ds and 28 - 135 IS Lens for £1200.

I have a question, will my old lens for my 400D Fit? A Sigma 70 - 300 DG APO Macro. Am I right in thinking the DC is from cropped sensor not Full Frame like the 1Ds?
 
opps Yes DG APO, and yes Really I did, it was off the bay, used only for Studio work, and now not needed as he changed job. Bargain or what? Could not say no.

Like I say, it will work. But you would have to be crazy to use such a budget lens on such a pro camera! :lol:

I shall be replaced for sure, just curious. I will be looking for a 300mm very soon. Prob an IS range im sure.
 
Any more 1Ds MkII's at that price let me know please..:wave:
 
I was just in the right place at the right time. Ebay Item number: 200231357814. Might be worth asking if he is selling any other equipment.
 
All the ones that I have had on watch have gone for £2200, body only so well done on that price and hope you really enjoy it. Git! :)

Thanks mate. Yep, I have seen them going for the same money. I snapped it right up as soon as I talked to the guy. It was orginal 1050 body only, got the lens chucked all in for 1200 so had to do it. I cant wait, it has been posted today, so Tuesday proberly. Cant wait.
 
Not a bad buy at all, and yes being DG, and not a DC means that it will work, but a you need 'l' glass to make the most of it.
 
Ahhh that shed some more light on the situation..:lol:

Its a 1Ds not a MkII..:)


[EDIT]

Missed some posts..:D
 
Stupid Question now, ready....
What is the main difference between the 1Ds Mk1 and 1Ds Mk2 ???

As a 1DSMKII user myself I would say L lenses only from now on for you.

Totally agree, Nothing worse than a pro camera with a budget lens.:gag:
 
She will be mated with some nie glass soon. I will be using Lenses For Hire as they are in my town, to test a few before I commit, and get the roasting for spending more cash. hehe.
 
Well it arrived this morning, what can I say WOW, that is serious camera. Cant wait to give it a test run. Its in fantastic condition, only slight mark is the hot shoe from flash removal, nothing to worry about at all. I am one happy camper.
 
Is it 1st April today? I'm not so convinced guys!! Why go from a MKiii to a 1Ds? Maybe he's going to put the rest of his cash towards a nice L lens?
