I was looking for a full-frame camera, but didn\u2019t have much money at the time. Online, I\u2019d heard people raving about the Canon 5D \u2018Classic\u2019 and how it was still a lovely camera to use, even though the Mark IV had already come out at that point. So I popped on to Gumtree and saw that someone was selling it not too far away, for not too much money. Graeme, the seller, met me at the train station in Linlithgow.<\/span><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-131286 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ZBRUNNER_4-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Calibri','serif'; color: #201f1e;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Calibri','serif'; color: #201f1e;\"><strong>You got more than just the camera, right?<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen I told him about why I was buying the camera, he told me that he was a wedding photographer and offered to take me along as a second shooter! I\u2019ve shot several weddings with Graeme over the past couple of years \u2013 he\u2019s taught me many a thing about wedding photography. I would probably consider the Canon 5D the luckiest purchase I\u2019ve ever made.
