6500 clicks.. £2k .. good deal ?

Not too bad, but i have seen them a fair bit cheaper than that and not ones that have been excessivly used either. Have been keeping an eye myself and most seem to be around the £1500 mark second hand on the private market. Ffordes get them in from time to time secondhand. They have one currently at £1849 but its only in E+ condition.

6500 clicks? christ it's bearly even been out of the box.

how can you be sure it has only done that? mines shot 150,000 before it retired to back-up. looks like new, but has a slight resonance when the shutter recocks...

sound like a bloody good buy to me if it has shot that.

Yeah I was thinking that - mine's only a fortnight old and I've done 1800 or so already - did 1200 at the wedding on the first weekend alone.

yeah I've done 5k on mine since feb.. it's been used in a studio.. he's moving to hassibladdy with digi back. but like you say could have been round the block.

Gonna keep an eye on used prices then as there just to close to 5D money really thinking long term.

thanks all.

It is very possible that studio work (non-fashion) could have a relatively low click input. Much set up time before shooting and so on, especially if the user's background was film.

[flameop]

it was.. said he was amazed how good it was when he tried it.Digi vs film wise.

Also shooting teatherd I suppose low clicks is poss..

I'm gonna wait and see how market shifts when mkIII's out first..
