    deatrier got a reaction from KnightsFan in Best used setup for filming ff dslr on a really tight budget   
    Hi!
    An update.
    Now I ordered lots of stuff (and waiting for it to arrive)
    This is what I got (incl freightcosts):

    5DII with battery grip - 660€
    - not the cheapest one but seemed to be well treated and in good condition, got it down from 800€, 17 000 shutter count
    Three Nikkor ais lenses (and a Nikon f301) 24mm f/2.8, 55mm micro f/2.0, 85mm f/2.8  - 310€
    One ritzgear 52mm ND-filter 36€
    One Komputerbay 128GB 1066x cf-card  - 103€
    three lens adapters (no brand china) ~25€
    One SanDisk ImageMate Pro USB 3.0 Multi-Card Reader SDDR-489 - 27€
    Total about 1161€

    Figured to get an external hard drive aswell, but I think I will start off with the storage I got at the moment. The 5DII got a little bit more expensive than I had thought to pay but otherwise I'm quite pleased with what Ive got within this budget. fingers crossed everything will work alright. 

    Hope all is well with you people

    I vaguely remember something about the 128GB Komputerbay causing some issues, the 64GB cards work fine though... so you may want to research that to verify.
    Otherwise, you look like you have a nice little set up.
    Have fun with it!!!

    Crap! The 5D2 is a great stills camera & is also capable of shooting absolutely amazing video with Magic Lantern RAW but also very decent cinematic video without any hacking. Just because there are newer more expensive cameras with even better low light performance & higher resolution that doesn't suddenly make the 5D2 a rubbish camera. Here in the UK you can buy a used 5D2 from Wex for £500 including a 12 month warranty. That's amazing value for the quality of the camera & the images it is capable of.
    This video made over nine years ago before the 5D2 was shipping is what started the whole DSLR revolution (unfortunately for some bizarre reason there are no 1080p HD versions that I could find online any more)
    If resolution & dynamic range is what you want then what about this shot with a  5D2 with Magic Lantern RAW?
