p.2 #1 · EF 50mm f/1.0 for $2,000

The listing is now gone.
There have been several "fraudulent listing" reports to eBay, and they usually take action within several hours.

This one had "scam" written all over it, and if you didn't see it for sure, then my advice to you is that you refrain from buying stuff on ebay, unless the seller is Adorwin, Kehoutlet, Matsuiya and such well known and reputable sellers.

Is there a way to get a CPS clean & check for this lens? If so I would always require the seller to have it done before you buy.

I don't think so......the lens has been untouchable by Canon USA and Canada for several years now.

However, if the lens is sufficiently sharp wide open, no fungus, and EMD and AF/MF are not knackered, then one should be able to find a camera store which would calibrate AF and clean the dust, if required.

I remember this lens to be not that great except for the fact that it eats light. Maybe I remember incorrectly.

Eats light for breakfast and bank accounts for dinner.

That's because I bought it. I asked him to delete the auction so that my fellow FM Canon friends wouldn't get too jealous and twisted. I gave him my bank account information, which allows him to send it by special super-fast delivery.
