[SOLD!] FS: 1DM2

[Romy Ocon]

I'm considering finally letting go of my trusty 1DM2, as Pogito finds it a bit heavy for BIFs and I use my 5D2 in all my birding applications.

Canon 1DM2

In excellent working condition, good cosmetics (except for normal wear marks on the flash hot shoe and on the eyelets for strap mounting), clean LCD and sensor (no dead pixel), less than 52K* shutter count, see and test to appreciate.

Comes with the following:

Brand new, unpacked Crumpler strap (won at Xmas party raffle)
Three (3) original Canon NP-E3 batteries
Original battery charger

I can no longer locate the box and the other minor accessories that came with the unit.

No more warranty, but can be inspected and tested exhaustively prior to committing purchase.

* Shutter count is less than 52K cumulatively, but the first shutter was replaced by Canon under warranty at 11K actuations due to premature failure (possibly factory defect). The new shutter has less than 41K actuations and is working very well like it should be with a 1Dxx pro unit.


Will let go for PHP 60,000.00 (fixed), but will sell only to a fellow PBPF member so the camera will continue to shoot feathered subjects.


PM or send me an SMS (0918 940 3802) if seriously interested.

Replied!!! ;D

BTW Plain Idol, this baby has centerpoint AF at f/8, so you can mount your 500 f4 IS + a reporting 2x TC and still not need to do MF.

Wow!! Must be hard to part ways with your workhorse, Ka Mastah!!

Will I see a 7D in Pogito's hand pretty soon?

[Tonji Ramos]

Go Tina go! Looks like we are going to Candaba to take flying ducks soon!

[Bobby Kintanar]

Ay naku, Plain Idol Tina, that camera will be too heavy and too big for you. Hehehe. On the other hand, I don't know, but my hands do seem to fit that body very well though ....

Hehehe.... like marrying off a son or a daughter to a good in-law, the pain of separation is somehow cushioned if you know that your baby will be in good hands.

Mwuahahaha..... no comment. ;D

First in line is Plain Idol.

Next is the Cebu Ace, if Plain Idol isn't a go (she'll inspect and test this weekend).

... and you know that they'll just be living within your compound or just around the corner!

Congratulations to whoever this legendary camera will end up with!

Yes Bong, legendary is the best description for this camera. I would love to own this just for the bragging rights. I'm just glad it won't leave our group. Go Idol Tins, go.

[Romy Ocon]

Thanks for the comments, guys! ;D

To better describe the cosmetic condition of the camera, I took some quickie snapshots minutes ago. Pardon the quality, I'm clueless at product photography.

Tempted to put 2 lbs of lead inside the battery compartment before handing the camera to Plain Idol for her hand held BIF test, Bobby. But then, she might just pray that God turns off earth's gravity, and we'll all fly off to outer space. ;D ;D ;D

It's now placed in a fire-proof, water-proof, shock-proof and Bobby-proof vault for safekeeping, madam! ;D ;D ;D

[tina mallari]

I like that Bobby proof vault of yours Idol !!!

[Bobby Kintanar]

Hmmmmm.... Oh well, if there's anybody out there more worthy than the rest of us of that Camera, that would be Plain Idol Tina, anyway, Hahayyyyy.. well - "It's more than Photography, it's a Passion" diba? Sige, mag pa Passion na lang ako. Huhuhuhuhu.

On the other hand ... maybe Canon will be able to fix my 1D2 that's been with them for 4 months now! :-)
