In photography as in most pursuits that involve gear, you end up buying a lot of things that you either don't end up using or use for a while and then move onto the new piece of kit. Well it's time for me to move some stuff out of here. So I figured I'd give my readers first bite before I bother with ebay. All prices are without shipping added. If you live in NYC you can certainly come and pick them up. Email me if you're interested: bill at billwadman.com
So without further adeu (images below):
Canon 17-40mm f/4 L with lens hood. Very good condition - $450
I loved this lens when I got it. My first taste of L glass and I can't go back.
Canon 70-200mm f/4 L with lens hood. Good condition (couple of nicks on the white paint - see photo) - $400
Known as one of the sharpest lenses Canon makes. Great when you need a little reach.
Canon 100 f/2 Very good condition - $300
Crazy sharp, good for concert photography. I once read a review where the guy said "never take photographs of your significant other with this lens, it'll show all their flaws and they'll never talk to you again." Yes, it's THAT sharp.
Lensbaby v1 EOS mount - $40
If you don't know what a lensbaby is, I'm sure you can do some research online, but imagine a finger focus lens that gives you results somewhere between tilt-shift and a Holga
Graphex 4x5" rail camera with 135mm lens - $50
Honestly I've never actually used this camera. I bought it on a whim and then the next day ended up buying a high-end modern one. That said, the shutter works and seems timed about right. I can even throw in a few film holders to get you started. If you ever wanted to mess around with large format for fun, this might be your chance.
Lacie 250GB USB 2.0 hard drive - $30
This is the full size version that needs to be plugged into the wall too, but otherwise a nice drive for backup and such.
and finally, last but certainly not least
Eizo CE240W 24" LCD monitor - $1000
If you're up on these things, you'll know that this is a GREAT monitor. Eizo is not to be compared to your run of the mill Dell and Apple. I could talk all day about how much I've loved this thing (best thing I've ever bought for photography) but you can do a google search for reviews and you'll see. You'll have to wait til next week some time to get this one though, I'm waiting for it's replacement to get delivered. Also, this one would probably be easier to do locally as shipping might be expensive.

Any idea what the shipping on the 4x5 to Minnesota would be? I'm pretty interested in that.
I just picked up the 17-40 off of eBay for $325 thanks to the cash back program. It's fantabulous.
Hey, in light of all the stuff you're selling... I'd be interested in a post about the glass you currently ARE using.
Certainly not a bad idea Neil, I'll get right on that.
Hey! I'm interested in the 70-200. Is it an IS? Let me know! Thanks!
Iris
Hey Iris-
Email me at bill@billwadman.com if you're still interested in the lens.
Hello Bill,
I may be intersted in your 17-40 lens.
Can you please answer my questions:
How old is the lens?
No filter or what brand of filter?
A shipping estimate to Seatte, Washington?
Method of payment? Do you do Paypal...
Thanks!
Steve
Hi Steve-
It's about 2.5 years old. Most of that time spent on a shelf.
I don't usually use UV filters, but I've got a couple of decent Tiffen ones here and can certainly throw one into the deal.
shipping would probably be around $20 with insurance.
email me if you'd like to know more.
Bill, greetings from Japan... I was wondering if you still have the Canon 70-200mm f/4 L with lens hood available? I am interested in purchasing it .... What do you think? Dan
17-40 still for sale??
