Up for sale is my Sony A7R film making package.If you are thinking of moving from a cropped sensor into full frame stills photography, or shooting a film on a quality DSLR then this listing may be for you.
I put this ensemble together two years ago, when I was inspired to make a short film. A lot of research went into the gear, none more so that the choice of older Canon lenses. These are all MANUAL focus lenses from the 80's. Metal construction, not plastic, premium quality optics right up there with the modern offerings from Sony and Canon, but at a far more realistic price.
In having made my film, it is now time to move this gear on.Its my hope that some other budding film maker may follow suit.That is the reason for selling it all as a package, and not as individual items. If there are no takers for what's on offer, I will then think of breaking it up.
1. Sony A7R body.35mm Mirrorless full frame E-mount 36.4 mega pixel camera.
I'm the second owner, very little use other than shooting video.(Can be had for around $1000)
2. Canon FD20-35mm f/3.5L Wide angle "L" lens. Comes with a Hoya Pro1 Digital 72mm MC UV filter
These are hard to come by, they fetch around $450-$600
3. Canon FD80-200mm f/4L Zoom lens. Comes with a 58mm UV filter.(Around $300)
4. Canon FD35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 Zoom lens.Comes with Kenko MC 72mm Skylight filter.(Around$150)
5. Canon FL50mm f/3.5 Macro lens.Comes with Life-Size Adapter & leather case. (Around $150)
6. Rode Stereo VideoMic X on camera stereo Microphone. Bought new ($650)
7. smallHD Focus 5-inch on camera monitor, with Sony bundle. Bought new ($670)
8. Syrp 82mm Super Dark variable 6 stop ND Filter.Comes with case. Bought new ($390)
9. Hoya 72mm HD circular polarising filter. Bought new ($260)
10. C7 Canon FD to E-mount lens adapter. Bought new($100)
Extra's include 32gb SD card, two batteries, Hoodman eyecup, two battery chargers, Sony remote. All cables, boxes, etc...
Approximate replacement value of the above would be $4200.00 or more.
My Price: $2500.00 plus postage.
Even if you were not to utilise the lenses (A mistake I believe, as they are beautifully built, high quality glass) the value on what's on offer is undeniable. All gear and lenses are in excellent condition. The Rode stereo mic and smallHD monitor present as new.
Note: Achieving focus with manual focus lenses on the Sony A7R is easily done using focus peaking and focus magnifier. Also the smallHD monitor has in-built focus tools.
