brambor Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 I have a chance to buy 100mm 2.8ef for $100 and the 1N for $400. While I know the lens is a good deal I don't know much about the 1N camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobbi Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Ath keh.com the 1N is selling from 500$ rated as 'bargain' to 900$ rated 'like new minus' so compared to that, 400$ does not sound bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citizensmith1664875108 Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 depends. If you will be giving cash to someone in person who will be providing you with the items on the spot then yes, its a very good deal. You could pay twice that for the camera and triple for the lens. If this deal involves ebay, money orders, foreign countries, or other shady circumstance then no. It's a con, stay well clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aron Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 I agree with all the above, great deal, just make sure you trust the seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brambor Posted August 22, 2003 Author Share Posted August 22, 2003 It is a personal add in the local paper.I might head out there tonight. The thing is that I already have 3 film cameras (650,konicat1,konica t1) and one d30. I have no interest to get another one. Perhaps I will sell it here or on ebay.Rb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aron Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 "It is a personal add in the local paper" Good chance you are just running in to somone who needs the money then and it could turn out legit. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brambor Posted August 22, 2003 Author Share Posted August 22, 2003 I just called him. He got 10d and doesn't have a use for the macro. He even offered to sell the lens without the body. I 'm on my way to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron c sunshine coast,qld,a Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Rene,that 100/2.8 macro lens may have the worn focus drive cog problem .It can be fixed though and at us$100 the lens would STILL be a steal...just be sure the optics and electronics are ok and GRAB IT!!!

brambor Posted August 23, 2003 Author Share Posted August 23, 2003 I ended up buying both. The lens appears to be in great working and cosmetic condition. It is the non USM version. I will take some test pictures today.The camera is also in great condition minus some brassing on the bottom. I offered $300 and the man said yes. He also had the manual.

brambor Posted August 23, 2003 Author Share Posted August 23, 2003 uh oh, the 1N has a really sexy shutter sound... I'm getting attached... hehe. I put a roll of film in it and snapped 3 pictures so far. The camera has a really good feel and sound and 'everything'... It will be hard to part with it. Maybe it won't sell on ebay - I can tell my wife that I at least tried ;-) rb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
