Just had a baby and got hit with a massive hospital bill. Also just realizing I'll have limited time these days to sit in the blinds or chase down owls in the early dawn hours...
I'll be back to wildlife photography one day! But for now, I figured I could get my gear into another aspiring photographer's hands at a great price, and knock down some of this medical debt...
This lens is in great condition. Very small scuff that I just noticed on the lens collar (see second photo close up shot of the scuff) - must have gotten it from shooting on my window bag mount for my car. Only shot in dry conditions, kept in a climate controlled room (45%RH, 68F) when not in use. The lens will come with a Hejnar Photo lens foot ($85), a Luma-Labs QD strap ($99), and original box, accessories, bag, lens cover, hood, etc.
This lens deserves its own dedicated listing, but check out my other gear if you are interesting in a bundled deal. I would love to sell everything to a single buyer if possible... Z9, 400mm F4.5, 85mm F1.2S, 14-24mm F2.8S, Leofoto LS365-C Tripod, Leofoto BV-20K fluid video head.
My price reflects an in-person sale. If you need the item shipped, I'll get an estimate from UPS for their Pack and Ship guarantee - it's expensive, but the only way to truly insure the lens for the full value of $16,000. I am currently reserving shipment of this item for well established FM members.
I would prefer an in-person sale, and I'm willing to drive a few hours if needed. I live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland for reference.
congrats on the baby. if pressed for time, you might want just to sell everything to a local store. specially if selling many items. one quick way to be done with this instead of piecemeal sale of separate items.
There are people on here (like me) who like buying complete kits. Likely you give up a bit relative to piecemeal sales, but likely quite a bit higher than a store sale. If you are pressed for time.

That is true, I've been so busy with work and the baby it's hard to get proper photos, but it will be up this week now that extended family have left this morning.
I would do a full bundled deal for $18,500 if anyone is interested in that (Z9, 600mm, 400mm, 85mm, 14-24mm with filter kit, ls 365-C w/ BV-20 video head)
GLWS of course. Best thoughts/prayers/wishes for you and the family with a new baby, especially one where medical bills occurred that ended up being hefty. For us it was nearly 13 years ago this happened.
And in the time before you get back to nature/wildlife photos, enjoy photography of a growing family and new child.
