CELOSdb:
Canon EF lenses and other stuff database
J.L. Colwell, Canada, 2005-04-30
ABSTRACT
|
The Canon EF lenses and other stuff
database, CELOSdb, includes contemporary prices and physical specification
data for over 300 lenses and other stuff, including: all Canon EF prime
lenses; all Canon EF L-series zoom lenses (plus a few others); selected
EF-compatible “third party” lenses; and, other stuff including;
teleconverters, flash, and macro accessories.
The prices are mostly for used equipment in excellent to mint
condition, based on hundreds of eBay sales and online list prices at over 90
camera stores. The price information
was gathered over seven months from October 2004 through April 2005. The
database also lists physical specifications such as minimum focus distance,
weight and dimensions. The database
and this document are distributed in .pdf
format, and the database is also available as a password-protected MS Excel .xls spreadsheet, and as .csv comma-delimited text files. |
