looking to upgrade....

[dwivian]

I wanna upgrade my lenses -- anyone want to buy a slightly used 70-200mm f/4L Canon lens? I've had it a few months, but I've reached some limitations and need to get something that does more of what I need, so I am putting this one out there to try to recover some of my costs....

The wife might be interested, but the money would not be available till the end of the month at the earliest. I'll tell her to talk to you about it.

Please do -- I'd love to know her interest, and I can wait if necessary (the Canon sale goes through the 31st, too!)

That anonymouse post was me, stupid phone logged me out.

No worries --

No, it isn't IS... that's one of my problems, since I have tremor in my right side, and so I am forced to use this one almost exclusively on a tripod. It is a standard USM, though, and it's fast on the focus. Light is good, and with her new camera it'll crop out to 110-320mm effective. That's really nice for sporting events, as I discovered at the UGA/SC game (check my Flickr stream).

For what it's worth, the IS one is $1350 retail, and this one is in the $700 range, so it'll be cheaper! :)

Unfortunatly between her carpel tunnel and her neurological issues from the navy she needs IS as well. So hope you find a buyer.

Let me bounce that off my dad - he's a real photonut and might be interested.

Please do -- I wanna upgrade, but I need the money from the lens sale! :)
