I am looking to swap my 40d for a decent lens but would also consider selling it.
I value it around €300-€350 as it has 2 issues:
1) The shutter button is tempermental and need a lot of pressure to work. Despite been in otherwise mint condition and after very little use one day it just started giving trouble. If you can fix it yourself then this is a steal. If not it will cost you around €100 to get it fixed.
2) The usb port is banjaxed!!!!! Just found out as i never use it. Im pretty sure its one of those things where it costs way too much to fix so basically if you dont use the usb port then this is the camera for you.
As you probably know the 40d outperforms even the 50d and is the best or second best (60d has just hit the shelves) in the xxd range.
So now for the good part: It has seen very light indoor use including one pro boxing show and one christening where it produced amazing results with VERY modest lenses. Everything else is mint, all the dials, contorls, everything. It comes boxed with accessories including a travel charger.
I would love to do a straight swap for a decent lens that is surplus to your requirments. If the lens is worth more than the camera I would be willing to put money towards it.
Lenses I have in mind:
Sigma 30mm 1.4
sigma 18-50 2.8
sigma 70-200 2.8
Canon 100-300l 5.6
Canon 80-200l 2.8
canon 70-200 f/4
Any sigma / tamron 2.8 constant
They are lenses I am on the look for anyway but again make an offer and I will consider it.
Thanks for the offer but it would have been too low and the camera is now gone. I’ve now edited the post. I’ll have a fee more items up soon to fund some lenses so keep a look out :)
