SOLD: Canon 400 5.6L

[jeff lapoint]

It kills me to have to do this, but I need to sacrifice my favorite lens in order to move up to the 300 2.8.

This lens is LN-, small scuff on tripod ring, glass is pristine and the lens has been babied since I bought it. Date code UTxxxx. Comes with everything it normally would if purchased new.

Taken with 1DII and canon 1.4x tele --about a 50% crop

I get some pics up of the lens later, but you'd be hard pressed to tell it from new. This is a sharp copy that performs well with a canon 1.4x (on a 1d body) and the cheapo tamron 1.4x on my 30d.

My price is $945 shipped. Paypal is fine, but add 3%. I have good feedback both here and on FM.

Thanks for looking!

I usually dont pipe into people selling threads but i have to here.

This is a totally amazing lens...it focuses like lightning & is as sharp fully open as it is closed down. I put it on & walk about with it for a view you dont normally get to shoot with a carry around lens.

Dont miss it guys.

Oh, I know. One of Canon's best-ever hunk o glass.

I had gluwater's 400 5.6 on my 20D for only 30 seconds a year ago, and that's all it took to be convinced.

PM's sent.

You'll miss it!
It's an excellent lens for flight shots.
You can't move the 300 2.8 around that well.:D

I'm sure you may be right...maybe after not having it for a bit I'll realize what I was missing...but right now I can't afford to keep both.

As for the lens, it is not yet sold but it is on hold for a day or so to see if a local deal can be worked out with Dgrinner in the area. I'll update the ad PRN.
