EF-S lens wont work on a 5D Mark II, and you certainly cant get one for that price!!

sure its not a 50D?

I thought it would be that lens but will see on saturday..and yes it is Canon MII Model..I just assumed that would be the lens I would be getting.., as I am not getting it as a kit but seperately,new.

50D would make a lot more sense than a 5D MkII at that price with that lens [/QUOTEI know the body alone cost £2k + and is the correct body not d50 etc..

Beat me too it...

the 17-85 is the 50D kit lens is it not? So that would make sense.

I am confident I know what I am getting from a genuine source, I just cant wait..

What's the source then? Because we would all like to know where we can get a half price 5D MkII!

Sorry - deal only applies to me..

How do you go from 17-85mm to a 24-105mm? Lol.

You can doubt me, as long as I know I am getting it thats the main thing..

Whether I am getting the camera or not, no need to be negative..

The person you are getting it from must be selling it at a loss as I doubt even the bigger shops get them in at that price.

(Unless you know someone that works at Canon?)

You almost got it correct, not canon but a friend who is a electrical distributor, I got my pioneer KRP 600A for 2500.00 when it first come out, got my denon 4308A for 800.00, got my nec spectraview moniroe 26" for 350.00 2 weeks ago, I got a sony z4500 40" for 650 currently in my room.. he is my source, I am not a lier.. Rarely post threads on these forums and believe me will not again if thats the reaction I have to look foward too.. :eek:

You make a post bragging about about getting a camera at less than half price with a lens that won't fit.

Did you really think this thread was going to go any other way?

I am bragging now, I have nothing to bragg about , you dont know me..simple .. (I am not replying to shallow responses)..

Raikiri said:
The cost price on these is still £1050, it was higher when they came out...

You already replied to that post as well. In fact, you sound a lot like someone who was recently banned (again).

Banned was I ,..little do you know...

I just don't understand how any source gets said gear for such a low price to be able to sell it for that (if legit), and the fact they originally told you the wrong lens, that won't even fit the camera. Just smells a bit. Also you're getting pretty defensive with people saying that it doesn't fit, and stating the facts about the price of the gear you are getting.

Can i ask, how come you didn't just get a cheaper camera and more glass, to learn the basics, rather than spend so much on your first camera and restrict yourself to one lens?

Well if I am getting a dslr for the priced quoted I would not turn it down..its an opportunity, best wishes..
