Selling a excellent condition Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II. The body and front element are in near new condition. Focus is smooth, AF functions perfectly and mounting surfaces have minimal wear. The hood has a few scuffs hear and there but nothing serious.
Date coe: UZ0609
There is however a single, fairly noticeable speck of rear element dust identified in the photo. Rather than send it to Canon before selling, I'll discount the price and let the buyer decided if cleaning is worthwhile or not - read this regarding dust and the 85: http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2011/08/the-apocalypse-of-lens-dust
Lens will ship in original packaging with caps, case, and a B+W Neutral MRC filter.
I'll cover shipping via UPS, regular PayPal please add 3%.
Not that I can tell. Have a look at the link in the ad. It's from LensRentals showing an 85 f/1.2 with some serious dust and the resulting image at f/16. You can sort of see it, but then again, I don't think I've ever shot this lens at f/16. At f/1.2, 2, even 5.6, dust like this would never be an issue in terms of image quality.
Great price with the filter and the code indicates that it's less than 2 years old! That piece of dust is like grain of sand in the desert. From my extensive research, it won't affect image quality. I wish I held on to buying my 85mm a week late. I would be all over this.
