Feeler on selling some of my gear...

[convergent]

I am not doing nearly as much sports and portrait photography as I used to, and I'm thinking of thinning out some of my gear and trying to knock down our mortgage a bit with the funds. I figured I'd see if there was any interest here. I'm kind of on the fence about doing this. All of the stuff is used, but in good mechanical shape. There may be a ding here or there because I do use my stuff, but overall really good shape.

Here are the items I'm considering parting with, although it will make me cry when I do...

Canon 400mm f/2.8 II (this is as good as a press pass for most sporting events)
Canon 200mm f/1.8 (not sure about this one)
Canon 24-70mm f/.8
Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro
Canon MT-24EX Macro Flash
Canon 580EX
Lightware BP2214 Backpack
Kenesis L521 Long Lens Case
2 x Alien Bee B800
2 x Alien Bee 10' Light Stands
JTL Backdrop stand with grey muslin backdrop
Various light modifiers
Sony UP-DR150 Dye Sub Printer w/consumables
Gitzo G1340 tripod and Wimberly Gimbal Head w/Arca Swiss Plate
Gitzo G1588 Mk2 carbon fiber monopod with RRS Arca Swiss Plate
Bogen 3021 tripod with 3-way head
Sekonic L358 Light meter

Im assuming you meant f/2.8 for the 24-70? How much you asking for the 400mm 2.8 or the 24-70 2.8?

What about the 580EX or the Sony Printer?

Wow Mike I didnt see all this stuff for sale... boy those long lenses sound delicious... I wishI had use for them... I really miss my 200/1.8L

Dave, I sold the printer... And I'm in NC now and it would have been very heavy to ship. I'll try to get some prices on some of it.

Ross, I'm still on the fence on the big guys. My daughter just started club volleyball and that 200 I'm sure will get used a lot. Next three weekends are tournaments!
