Very impressive!!!

I have a Peak 5L that fits my M10-P and 3 lenses. It is just right for what I carry.

Awesome Pic

I'm sorry but a German swastika is pathetic. I would not own something with that on it.

Look at the rebates on a new one. A refurb does not make economic sense at the current price point.

[quote=John Di Leo, post: 5558154, member: 5367701]I am strongly considering updating my d700 to a d810. The new list of the 810 is just too much at $2800, so I am considering a refurb or a used body. The 810 is the only upgrade I am considering, so throwing an 800 or 750 into the mix is not on my radar. Since this is done online and sight unseen, what advice would you give me regarding what should I look for. Shutter count, I suppose, is a given, but what else? And how many shutter trips are too many? With a shutter lifespan of <200k ish, there's probably a lot of wiggle room. I have always bought new before, so not buying new is terra incognita. I am looking at BH and KEH and Adorama, esp KEH because of their seemingly generous return and warranty of 180 days, but the 810s exist on ebay also, but is that, Ebay, really a crap shoot in your opinion, something to be avoided? Ultimately, the answer is "you pays your money, you takes your chances," but, how to minimize risk? Appreciate any insight and advice. PS I have the glass I want, the 16-35, the 24-70 and the 70-200 nikkors plus a couple of primes and a macro--all nikkors. Not a pro, but shooting nikon as serious hobbyist since my Photomic Tn in 1968. TIA

I agree. I bought a d810, 24-120mm with free mb-d12 and shure microphone for 2996.00. At this point it can't go much lower.

I second the DSLR. I have a Nikon 8000 ED that I rarely use because the Slide copying method works so well. If you are familiar with Ming Thein, go to his website under film reviews. It really works better than film scanners. It is much quicker.

<p>I agree with Robert. Prices do seem a bit depressed. I have an M7 that I was going to sell but decided to wait it out. I think like everything else it runs in cycles.</p>

<p>I was ready to sell but I will wait now. I guess sometimes there are cycles on used prices. I'll just enjoy it for the moment. The good thing about it is that it is nothing like the depreciation on any digital camera. </p>

<p>Wow, has anyone else noticed the decline in used prices for Leica film bodies? Especially the M7.</p>
