Just bought this lens from Adorama, paid $1,600 for it. I've got a wedding coming up in a month, and with the expenses of that, I realized after it shipped to me last week that I can't afford this just yet.
I think it'd be quicker to sell this to someone who can use it, rather than pay to mail it back and wait for them to credit my account. Purchase date was 7/03/07. Serial number on the lens is 2100406467. Date code is UV06XX
I'm located in Southern California. I work in north San Diego and live in the Temecula area, so if you can come to either of those locations, you can pick this up from me in person. I'll ship it for $20 to anywhere in the CONUS.
Pictures are below. This lens just arrived literally 5 minutes ago so it won't ever be placed on my camera. Comes in original box with all bubble wrap intact.
Email me here or at chris at chrisaustinphotography dot com My price is firm, I can just return it and get my money back (less shipping both ways) so I'm not going to deal on the price. I prefer someone who could come to north San Diego (Oceanside/Vista/Escondido area) during the day, or to Lake Elsinore in the evenings.
Soon, very very soon!
