I am selling my son's Sigma 170-500 f/5-6.3 APO DG (Canon mount) lens, that he has used in college. Comes with hood, front and rear caps, Sigma soft carrying case, warranty card (not filled out), paperwork and retail box. In short, it comes with everything that it came with when new except for the strap.
Currently, my son is starting his last semester of school for a degree in photography and digital media arts, in Nashville. His primary area of interest is in product photography and really only used this lens for a single semester (for a class in wildlife photography). Consequently, the lens is in very good condition (glass is mint and there are no signs of wear on the finish: no flaking, etc.). I did see a little dust on the front element which, naturally, can not be seen in any images.
This lens is an excellent option for those on a limited budget wanting to try their hand in wildlife photography. Here is a link to user reviews of this lens, from Amazon:
For requests of images taken with the lens, I took some images at 400mm and 500mm wide open and at f/8 (for comparison). Please provide your email address if you would like me to send you those images.
Please do be patient with me, as I have a full time (and then some) job. I will get images up and answer PM's as quickly as I can.
New Price is: $450 shipped USPS ground or UPS ground via PP gift option (add $15 for regular PP).
I will offer a 2 day buy back period from the time that the package is signed for. If for any reason you are dissatisfied with the lens, you may return it for a refund MINUS my shipping cost and any fees involved; provided the lens arrives back in the same condition that it shipped out in.
PM's are the best way to reach me. If you simply must send an email, please include your FM user name or I may not respond to your email.
