Hey guys, I'll get some pics up tomorrow, but I have a mint canon 40D and an older Tamron 28-105 f2.8 lens for sale separately or as a package.

Canon 40D $600.00
The camera includes the original box, original charger, 2 batteries, strap and cap. Camera doesn't have a scratch on it. I kept it as a backup, but did use it for sports too and also let a 2nd use it for a wedding. 15,721 clicks according to "EOSInfo" http://astrojargon.net/EOSInfo.aspx It works perfectly, and is a really nice little body. This was purchased new from Calumet in Oct. 2008

Tamron 28-105 f2.8 + shipping and 1/2 PP fees

This lens was purchased as a backup to my 24-70 f2.8L. It includes a uv filter, hood, caps, and padded bag. I shoot mainly weddings and I will say this is not a main wedding lens in my book. In a pinch or as a backup it is fine but it doesn't focus real fast. The constant f2.8 and the 28-105 range are the big selling points here. I don't believe there are any other lenses for canon with this focal range that are a constant f2.8. It is an older lens and is built with the Canon EF mount. Newer versions have a universal mount that requires an adapter for each mount but this one is from before they started doing that. Images are sharp and have good color but don't compare to the L glass... not much does though! Condition is good and it works fine. The zoom lock doesn't always work and sometimes the lens extends itself when hanging from the neck. The hood is a little bit loose but stays in place well. Otherwise the glass, and function are great. Cosmetically it is good. It doesn't look new but there aren't any big scratches or anything.

I am in the market for a Canon 17-40 f4L or possibly a 16-35 f2.8 or maybe maybe a 20-35 f2.8... I will entertain trades +/- cash, with any of those lenses or any wide zoom with the EF (full frame) mount.

As a package, I will sell both for $900 including lower 50 shipping and PP fee's.

Matt
