looking for second hand pro gear

Hi

Could anyone in Brisbane tell me how i can get hold of second hand pro
equiptment?

thanks

 

What brand

 

Ted's in the city have the occasional piece of pro-gear. Have a nice
canon 35-350L at the moment. Often have 2nd hand pro and semi-pro
bodies. Not many canon lens, but plenty of nikon ones.

 

Visit Kayell at Woolloongabba. They usually have some Nikon, Rollei,
Cambo and other pro stuff.

 

Most second hand pro stuff is offloaded for a good reason. It is nearing the
end of its life.

 

Certainly possible, but not necessarily so.

A pro photographer relies on his or her equipment to make his or her living
and so wants gear that works. Being able to depreciate equipment, and claim
GST, means that in real terms it is cheaper for the pro to update than the
amateur. Over the last few years, as digital has become more popular, many
film cameras have basically become redundant from the professional
photographers point of view. This means that there may be some bargains out
there in secondhand pro gear. The other factor to keep in mind is build
quality of pro gear. It is designed and built to last longer, and perform
better than amateur level equipment. This is why it is more expensive to
purchase initially.

 

call me <g>
Ive got lots of medium & large format and studio lighting gear that doesnt
get used enough to justify. Hasseleblad, Bowens monoblocks, Toyo studio
camera, Zone VI field camera, Schneider and Nikkor LF lenses. Cant be
bothered ebaying yet.
