Purchased from amother FM'er about 2 months ago thinking I would use it for bird photography. I have been shooting more portraits lately and just don't have the time or dedication for bird photography as I previously thought, plus I just purchased the new 35mm 1.4 II and I would rather sell the 400mm.

It has some scuffs on the black portion of the hood (shown in photos).

The fit was too tight and the mount has a bent are (it was purchased like this from previous owner), I remedied that by filing it down (see photo below). It's still a bit tight but much better than before, it doesn't really bother me and I'm sure this piece can easily be purchased through Canon parts.

This is the post I bought it from: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1421747/0#13487641

Includes built-in hood, front and rear cap, pouch, warranty card and box.

Update: I just called Canon parts and they quoted me $32 for the bayonet mount, they just need the outer lip thickness size before ordering.

Update #2: Added sample image, scroll to bottom.

Update #3: Added more sample photos, scroll to bottom to view.

If you have CPS, they will replace that mount free of charge during a clean and check service.

Interested in this. So it fits and works fine as is? But could use a new metal mount?

Yes the lens works fine with my 5d Mark iii and 6d, mount is a little snug.

Here is a sample image taken with the lens and 1.4x extender II, taken on June 5, 2016 at 5:42 pm (it was very cloudy and the baby bird was under shade). Resized to 1000 px and sharpened. Click the link below to view high resolution original version (6.59MB) Settings were 1/30 f 8.0 ISO 3200 on 5D mark III on tripod (560mm equivalent)

I'll take it. Been using my 70-200 with the 2x and not satisfied since my Sigma 120-400 bit the dust.

Let me know about payment etc.

Thanks.

More sample photos, these were taken without the extender, just with the lens wide open. The photos are cropped about 50% to 70%.

Settings were: pigeon and small bird 1/1000 f/5.6 ISO 640, squirrel 1/400 f/5.6 ISO 500, last pigeon 1/2500 f/5.6 ISO 500
