This lens is in pristine condition because I never used it. No scratches on the body or glass, no fungus, and stored in a smoke free home. I originally purchased it for the occasions when I was relegated to a church balcony during a wedding, but I've never needed it. I don't shoot wildlife so this lens is going unused

Do want, but can't afford...

I love this lens!

Awesome AF, sharp, IS works great and takes the 1.4TC no problem. And it's not very heavy.
For those thinking about this lens, here are a few sports shots with it + the 1.4TC.

And with a 100% crop(keep in mind these are also with the TC, it's even better without it).

Just used it this weekend during an e-session just for fun.

+1 to what Jake said! This is one of Canon's most versatile primes. Small enough to handle easily, light enough to take anywhere & with proper use of extension tubes can be a neat Macro set up (I've never used it as a macro, but have seen some fantastic results of others)

I just rented one to check it out (just posted some pics in the Sports forum with this lens)
and if I had an extra 1K laying around I'd take it. Great glass, good luck with the sale.

This is on my list, but the money isn't in my wallet. Good luck!

Thanks all for the free bumps. It looks like my timing is a bit off. I'll leave the posting up in case someone stumbles across it in the coming weeks and decides to buy it.

Time to try this again... it's been a year... maybe I'll catch someone who still has some Christmas money to burn. I've lowered the price by $50 and the discount for local pickup still stands.

Trying to sell so I have some money for a new exhaust for my motorcycle this spring :)

Bump... initial inquiries fell through :(

[El_Tortuga]

Damn. Wish you were closer to DFW

[dtran]

If you travel to Houston by chance, I would like to test shooting with that lens. You have a free bump.

[OversighT]

Sorry guys, no plans to travel to DFW or Houston any time soon. It's looking like I'm going to have to list it on fredmiranda.com
