Canon 5D Mark II purchased new around 2010 and in good working order.

Comes with an upgraded Eg-S focusing screen installed and the original screen in the box
BG-E6 battery grip holds one or two LP-E6 type batteries or the battery magazine for 6 AAs
Zacuto Z-Finder (focusable magnifying loupe for LCD screen)
Two 64Gb Compact Flash cards, one with standard formatting and the other with Magic Lantern installed
Original charger with aftermarket LP-E6-type battery
Three USB A to mini USB cables
A/V breakout cable
UPDATE: Mini-HDMI to regular HDMI cable included
Original box with CDs and manuals in English and Spanish and unused original strap.

Rubber port covers are long gone.

Magic Lantern is particularly handy for video. Standard cine overlays like focus peaking and false color to show over/under exposure are available, or clear all overlays for clean HDMI output (for instance, to use it as a webcam with a dongle like the Elgato 4K HDMI-USB adapter), or reduce bitrate to extend recording time limit with only minor loss in quality. If you don't like it, just reformat the card for the standard OS, and if you really like it, then format the other card for ML.

The Zacuto Z-finder improves focusing accuracy with the LCD screen and is a nice option for focusing in dark environments, when it can be hard to see through the regular viewfinder. There are extenders that you can add or remove to adjust for your eyesight and a helical for fine focus.

Even though the original CDs are included, I recommend downloading the latest versions of the software and drivers from Canon. Firmware is updated to latest version.

Check my other ads for the WFT-E4IIA wireless file transfer module for this camera.

I've used this camera for all kinds of still photography and some video. Most recently, I've been using this camera as the B-cam in my vlogging setup. Whenever you see me in 3/4 profile, that's this camera recording at 1080p, 25fps, 80% bitrate in Magic Lantern with a Zeiss Distagon 35mm f:2.0 ZS lens (heavily compressed by YouTube)--



It's not as advanced as the latest cine cameras, of course, but it still produces the beautiful footage that made it the first DSLR considered suitable for professional digital cinematography. And for still photography, 21 megapixels is still plenty for most commercial purposes, even though there are higher resolution cameras.

Selling to clear some space and cover part of the cost of the camera that's replacing this one.

$425 plus shipping.
