up for sale today is my extremely-well cared for canon 16-35 f/2.8L (http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/controller?act=ModelDetailAct&fcategoryid=148&modelid=7487).

condition: it's in excellent, mint-y condition. you'd be hard-pressed to tell this copy from a new one, side-by-side. the glass is clean. the hood is as new, and there are *no* signs of "usual wear" on the hood. i purchased this lens new in june of 2004, from b&h photo in nyc.

it's as purchased when new, it comes complete, with box, caps, warranty card (to show i'm the original purchaser, only...it's not in warranty any more), front and rear caps, ew-83e lens hood, and original canon pouch.

some example shots taken with this lens (http://www.moonriverphotography.com/gallery/309019)

pricegrabber (www.pricegrabber.com) shows that the best price for this lens from a reputable online dealer is $1400.

my price: $1125 usd, includes insured shipping in continental u.s. international buyers are welcome - you'll pay actual shipping charges to your location, less $10 *and* international buyers are responsible for any customs/import/duty fees. note on pricing: i arrive at this price by constantly checking the sale prices (closing prices) on canon gear. the last sale prices i've seen in the past 30 days were $1190 and $1200, and if i were to advertise this for sale on another board, i'd list it at around those prices. dgrinners benefit!

payment: your cash, personal check, bank check, postal money order are welcome. i will ship the lens when funds clear. faster shipping available if you wish to purchase with paypal, though that service will cost you an additional $33.75 usd.
