For sale for $3400 plus shipping. Or interested in trade for 7D, 1DsMk2, or 400 f5.6, plus cash.
Canon 500mm f/4.5 L (date code UI 0802).
Comes with: hood, collar, rear cap, hard case, drop-in Circular Polarizer, lens coat. No front lens cap or instruction booklet.
Lens Body Condition: Great condition. Tripod foot a little beat up, around where lens hood attaches marks all is evidenced in photos (normal wear and tear). It has had a lens coat on it for just about the life of the lens. Lens hood attaches securely to lens when in use, but not so much when in storage and the hood is reversed. I guess it is a tiny bit warped, however when you rotate the lens hood while being attached to the lens it fits snugly and problem solved. A small scratch on body (see photo).
Lens Glass Condition: Clean glass: no scratches or fungus. VERY, VERY light dust specs can be seen inside glass if you hold the lens up to the indirect sunlight, but you really have to strain to see (does not affect the optical quality at all, optical quality is great).
This lens is two pounds lighter than the 500 f4. Gives beautiful images and AF is quiet and fast. I hate to part with such an excellent telephoto lens, but it is simply too heavy for me, as I do most of my shooting handheld.
NOTE: Canadian Buyer to pay insured shipping by Canada Post from Vancouver Island, Canada. American Buyer to pay insured shipping by UPS. Buyer may also pick up lens locally once payment is received in my PayPal account.
Check my feedback and ask me if you have any questions.
