FA - Nikon D70 and assorted lenses and accessories

CalfeeRider

This isn't to spark a Nikon vs Canon debate or anything. And I really do like my D70 and have had a blast using it and getting back into photography. My changing platforms at this time isn't a reflection of anything other than I want a faster camera body and I've decided to get the Canon 1D Mark II N. I have been contemplating whether to wait to see what the D200 may bring, but even the "specs" that I have seen aren't above 5fps - although 10-12 megapixels *would* be nice for landscape and detail work.

I should have checked out this forum first, but I'm a long time ebayer and old habits are hard to break. My selling price (not the opening bid price) is listed by each description below. If you're interested and there aren't any bids I can close the auction so PM me at jackfbuchanan@excite.com asap.

Paypal preferred, but money orders or cashier's checks are fine. Sorry, no personal checks.

Thanks!
Jack

Only dropping a note here because this is the second FA listing this weekend. Both of you have posted nice descriptions on good equipment, and claimed to have seen the forum after the fact, but for future reference, lets keep threads started AFTER items are already on ebay to a minimum.

I'm more than happy to change FS threads to FA threads if the item does not move quickly. But hey, give dgrinners a shot first, you might be surprised how quickly and easily things go around here (with less hassle).

Give those old habits a kick


BTW, you aren't riding one of those fancy bamboo Calfee's, are you???

Thanks, Erik, and I wish I *had* thought about dgrin first. Maybe next time - since with this "hobby" there almost certainly will be a next time, right?

And, no, I don't have the bamboo bike. I do have their Tetra Pro though which is really sweet bike that I bought when I was in NYC. I almost made it to their 1st Annual Ride a few weeks back. Being that I'm so close now (Fresno/Clovis) it would've been cool to do that ride and also tour the place.

Do you ride?

Not as much as I used to, stopped racing when phd studies took over all my time, but I'd still call myself a cyclist.

(there's quite a few of us here, btw)
