I'm reviewing my motely collection of camera gear with a view to updating some things to new models, and getting rid of other things I don't use much. I can get a rough idea of what new stuff costs easily enough, but in many cases I have no idea of what the old things are likely to bring in. For example, I know that a new Canon 35mm f/1.4L II is about $2500, but I don't know what my 35mm f/1.4L (the recently discontinued previous model) would likely sell for, meaning that I have no idea what it would actually cost me to swap them over. * So perhaps members who know more about these things that I do would be kind enough to say what they estimate the following items might bring in. (No need to answer for every one, of course. Just the ones you know something about.)
Lenses:
Canon 35mm f/1.4L
Canon 100-400mm (This is the old 100-400, now replaced by the twist zoom 100-400 f/4.6-5.6L IS II.)
Canon 24mm TS-E f/3.5L tilt-shift lens (Note: this is the original, now replaced by the f/3.5L II)
Canon 500mm f/4L IS. (Note: this is the second Canon 500/4, the first with IS, which was itself replaced a little while ago by the f/4L IS II.)
Canon EF 1.4X II 1.4 extender (There is now a III.)
Other items:
Canon 580EX flash
Canon MT-24EX Macro twin lite flash
Canon 5D II camera (Refer to my glowing testamonial in a recent thread!)
Canon 50D camera
Thanks team!
* I choose this example because I'm not really interested in upgrading that particular lens, and I don't want to transgress the site rules about offering things for sale outside the proper place in the proper way. Please note that I am not offering these things for sale at this time. I may or may not offer one or more of them later, when I've worked out what I want to do. If so, I'll start a thread in the proper place.
