The one I sold includes a full year warranty, so in that sense it's really no different than buying a new back.That's a good point. For that much money warranty might make the difference. Private sale for that much would make me very nervous. Warranty would alleviate that.
Actually even better as it's had a real world field test.The one I sold includes a full year warranty, so in that sense it's really no different than buying a new back.
say it isn't so! Now that's sad. :scry:FWIW I just sold my M9 too...
IMO that's a smart move. I have done the same to a certain point.Also, I am just fed up with running so many systems and having a camera cupboard that looks better stocked than my dealership. And I want now to focus on one system, get a range of the best glass, learn it all inside out and hope to benefit from that too. FWIW I just sold my M9 too...
Yes please, I would be very pleased to talk to him and very grateful to you!Tim, I had an interested buyer in the UK I can refer to you. Not sure if he's still in the market or not.

For digital I am going with one system. Nikon D800E and a good handful of lenses. Small, fast and gives me for all practical purposes the quality of MFD.
However it is ergonomically way better letting me concentrate on the subject, client and directing my shoots.
However I have chosen to keep two film cameras too. Fuji GX680 and 8x10 Schneider/Sinar. These three systems complement each other so well and do not really overlap. I think that a combination of digital and film is far more empowering and fun than multiple digital systems. I just find that high end 35mm DSLR is just too close to medium format.
Another reason why I think you are making a good choice is that Nikon offers so many different lens options. Not just focal length, but looks. The 85mm 1.4G for example has such a different look to the 105 macro or the tilt shift lenses.
Today I spoke with a director of Photography and photographer. He has Leica digital, MF digital, a 35mm DSLR system as well as Fuji 670 and Sinar 4x5. His motion picture work is commercial whereas his photography is fine art. While he delves into all aspects of digital in the end he tells me that what works best is his Fuji GF670 around his neck and his 4x5 in the back of his car.
I would not be surprised is after focusing on one digital system (that is a swiss army knife of modern photography) if you end up with a nice film camera to complement you digital. A different camera for something completely different.
Don't worry, I kept ALL the glass. Someday soon someone will make a camera with focus peaking that really works with them...say it isn't so! Now that's sad. :scry:

Funny you mention that.... nearly all my images that get me unsolicited praise from new clients and agencies are shot on film....... I had one shot (on film I presume) on the MP that created more unsolicited interest than anything I've ever done... Loads of people emailing to say that they just HAD to know how it was done...
Hmmm...
Too true - there's only three certain things in this world: death, taxes and that technology is going to get better and cheaper ... dang, think that was four.Delay has its cost, too.
