This Lens has been moved to eBay. Here is the link...

http://cgi.ebay.com/Canon-EF-400-2-8L-USM-Telephoto-Lens_W0QQitemZ170356557564QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCamera_Lenses?hash=item27aa0ac6fc&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

This lens has served me well for two football seasons. This year I plan on using the 400 f/4 DO. I will be trading 1 f-stop for substantial weight savings. The 400 2.8 does not include the lensplate, but it does include the original carrying case, neoprene front lens cover and Canon rear lens cover.

PM's preferred.

Thanks for looking.

Dave

Yes it is. I don't know which year they began to make the V2 of this lens. I have tried to find that out, unsuccessfully. Having said that, I have been quite happy with this lens, with the exception of it's weight (and I doubt the V2 is any lighter

Hi Dave.
Would you happen to have any images with exif intact taken with this lens?
I would like to compare them with images taken by my 300 2.8 and a 1.4 TC to see what option would work better. If images tell a good story of sharpness and bokeh I may be interested.

Nope the V2 isnt any lighter, this is the monster truck of long Canon glass.

Thanks,
Rob

According to the Canon Camera museum, the V2 started production in March 1996.

Thanks for that info Ryan, I have wanted to know that for a while now. You are a sleuth and a gentleman!

Again, if you are seriously interested in buying this lens, please feel free to request the full size JPEGs with EXIF.

The first six images were uncropped.

Thanks for looking.
