Where can you find one for that price, the 300 2.8 IS, that is?
I can pick one up in the 2500-3000 range or get a 300mm 2.8L IS for that price too
It was a 400 2.8 v1 I missed out on on here way back in January, but the guy who sold it noticed I was looking for one and offered it to me for $2400 shipped. Nothing wrong with it, just a lens hood that doesn't stay on tightly. I should have it Monday! Now I need to buy some weights and start working out more, lol.
Yeah, I'd seen the old 400's go for low money because of the parts issue you are now finding, but have not seen the 300's that low or really even close, with most about 3500 or more.

Between mid-state camera repair and midwest camera repair as well as I guy I just found on ebay, I don't think repairs would be tough. The guy on ebay does have the AF unit for the lens, and probably a lot more.
