I am planning to sell my 1d3 camera & 16-35mm f2.8 mark II lens. I am the second owner. First owner was a photo journalist and used the equipment extensively. Therefore, cosmetics could be classified as a 5 or 6 out of 10. Functionally, they are flawless.
I am currently located in Ankara, Turkey but will be in Houston and Austin, TX between August 27th - September 2nd; and then Portland, Maine between September 3rd - 6th. Therefore, I can ship them within US via USPS priority mail after the 27th.
Lens comes with pouch, ew-88 hood, documentation and box.
7D3X9052.JPG of the clouds is a nice photo. It doesn't tell anything about the sharpness of lens (important since it has sustained enough impact to scrape off the lettering near the shade mount) Please re-post the file with the EXIF data. You cleaned the EXIF data file on export from Lightroom 3. The only way to see how sharp the lens is by shooting a raw file at 16mm f/2.8 with something that is near enough to be in focus (not at infinity) and without the heavy sharping on the cloud pix 7D3X9052.jpg
The lens is sold to 11210 and I am sincerely sorry for my ignorance about how to take a photo to test the sharpness of a lens. After I read what you wrote, I took this picture of my friend's laptop screen from 30centimeters or so:
Focus was on the center point. Since I am close to 7000 miles away from home - this is the best I could do for now (no photoshop, no lightroom, nothing interesting to shoot at 11.23pm in a dimly light room, etc). Hope this help.
