I bought this lens from Kevin Hummer here on FM on August 15 of 2014. I needed a lens for indoor sports. I used it for Volleyball, Basketball, Swimming, Soccer, Hockey, and Football. It worked really well with 1.4 version III teleconverter for Football and Soccer. Paired with a Canon 7D and the crop factor, it gave me a pretty long ~ lens. It focused surprising fast and accurately with teleconverter. Here was the thread where I originally bought the lens: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1289251.
I have lots of group portrait examples if you want to see them. The background blur at 1.8 or 2 is amazing. I usually stop down to F2 but it is sharp at 1.8 also. A large number of my sports photos on my Facebook page were taken with this lens. I can help find you examples if you want more details. I primarily used this on a 1D3 and 7D.
This is my favorite lens I’ve ever owned but I’m selling it because I’m not really making enough money off of sports photography to justify owning this guy. I’m going to stick with a 70-200. I love the shit out of this for portraits but to be completely honest, it is a little long and it is a little hard to talk to the people you are posing. I prefer a 135 or 85. Then again it was more like a 300 when I was using it on crop sensor for portraits.
It is hard to find a 200 1.8 in this good of condition. Glass is clean. Before this 200 I had an old 300 2.8 from the same era and I have to use MF adjustment to get the focus accurate. On this 200, I didn’t have to use any MF adjustment at all which surprised me.
If you can’t afford a 200 f2 IS then this option is just as good. You are losing IS though. If you shoot sports that doesn’t matter as much. I always just brought along a monopod for group photos even though I could hand hold it fine. This sucker is pretty heavy and you back will probably start to hurt after hand holding it for a few basketball games in a row like I tried.
User pays 50 bucks shipping. I will pay the rest. This sucker is heavy so it will be expensive to ship. I’ll add the insurance and do signature confirmation. Established FM members will be given priority. Oh, and the lens hood says 300 on it. Not sure why, it is just the lens trunk that previous user had for it.
I will also consider trades:
Leica R lenses
Canon FD glass (85 1.2, 24 1.4
Sony A7
Sony A7r
Sony A7s
grip for Sony a7’s
Zeiss 135 APO
Contax MF glass
Zeiss glass
Other lenses that work well with Sony A7
The A7r 2 is being shipped in early December so I would totally be down to picking up an a7 for cheap. This is kind of what I’ve been waiting for.

Bought from FM member and have had probably for a year or so. Had 26k shutter actuations when I bought it. I'm guess I probably doubled that so maybe around 50k. I can check for sure but might be a day or so. Comes with 3rd party grip. I'm not sure what brand but it is built just as good as the Canon grip and the buttons work perfect. Included is 2 batteries and the charger. The batteries still hold a charge. Camera functions properly with no issues. No box included. With the grip the battery part that holds the battery in is a bit loose and the batteries slide out a bit. But if the battery compartment door is closed then it isn't an issue. It just takes a few tries to push the battery in the grip before it locks in. Kinda hard to explain but not an issue at all. Figured I would mention it though. I may or may not have usb and video cable that came with it. I will look but no guarantees. Let me know if you have any questions. 15 bucks will pay for 1/2 of shipping. I will pay rest. Add money for paypal fee or pay as gift. |

Bought from FM user in August or so. Used for sports. When I bought it he wasn't sure how many shutter actuations were on it cause the program that shows the shutter count doesn't work with this camera. If I recall correctly he thought it was over 120k for sure. I probably put another 15-20k over last 4 months. Camera is in decent shape with no issues. Comes with DC Coupler, battery charger and one battery that still holds a charge. No box or any other accessories. Pay 15 bucks shipping and I will pay the rest. Add money for paypal fee or pay as gift. I paid over 900 for this a few months ago. |
