Updated: There is a great looking Nikon 200 f/2 VR on the board that hasn't sold yet, so while I'd prefer a trade for $ savings and simplicity - if somebody is willing to buy my Canon 200 f/1.8 outright via paypal quickly, I'll turn around and buy the Nikon. Asking price is $3,600 paypal'd and shipped.

For Trade - My Canon 200 f/1.8 for your Nikon 200 f/2 VR. Date code is UL (1997).
I just picked up this lens thinking that I'd have dual systems (Canon & Nikon). I fell in love with the lens, so much so that I want to stick with Nikon and get the equivalent 200 f/2 VR lens.
The lens is in amazing shape. I understand from the previous owner that he purchased it from KEH with a "LN-" rating. It has the lens, hood, end cap, case, leather hood, original manual and blank warranty card (not much use, but fun to see!).
My strong preference is a trade as I intend to get the Nikon version, and I'd prefer to save the transaction costs and time. However, if you feel compelled to make an offer, feel free.
I've had several big ticket purchases, sales, and trades on FM under "lnorton". I also have 100% positive feedback on eBay under "lnorton".
Here are several pictures. The first is a sample from this afternoon taken at f/1.8.
Bump to the top. Use to be my lens, was purchased from KEH in LN- condition. This is a great lens at a great price. You can't go wrong with this baby!!
Seems like a very well priced lens.
Not the best comparison perhaps, but KEH is currently asking $5.6k for their (LN-) 200 f/1.8. (To me that looks like a "waiting for a sucker" type of pricing )
