Canon 400mm 2.8L Lens for Sale

I'm selling my 400mm 2.8L IS. Asking $4500

Love this thing, I just haven't used it enough, but when I have, it's served me very well. It's a fixed Canon 400 mm f/2.8 There is average visible wear and tear on the exterior, but the lens elements are flawless. It works great, serviced recently and the focus is sharp and fast! This is an older model of the lens. I honestly don't know which generation, or how many canon has put out, but if you're aware of these things, hopefully the photos will let you know. It performs!

Call or email me. I will not check the forums, as I'm posting this a few different places. If it's sold, I will do my best to update this thread, but for sure the gallery description will have the word "SOLD" on it. Also check the gallery for updated pricing

$6,400 from a trusted retailer, B&H Photo. Sorry, but large items like this sold as a persons first post to the forum won't get far when pricing is lower somewhere easy to find.

runs about $4,700.00 (or less) on Ebay where buyer protction is better.....

let's point out the laziness factor as well. " I will not check the forums, as I'm posting this a few different places. If it's sold, I will do my best to update this thread"

basically means "i'll take the money and run and you'll never see me again."

I'll take it.

How can you have a 12K dollar lens and not know what generation it is or much about it. lol

This is the non IS. This is the EF 400mm f2.8L ll USM. This unit came out in 1996, while it was a great lens it is not a 7000 dollar lens nor can it be compared to its predecessor the EF 400mm f2.8L IS USM or the IS ll USM. Next time you post please do some research so others dont make you look bad. The plate on the lens gave it away does not look like the one on mine which is the gen 1 IS unit. In the condition yours is in if people find out it isn't an IS unit expect $ 4000 to $4500.
