Canon 300 f/4 L IS

Selling Price: $900 Shipped (if you pay cash and pick up in person I'll take $50 off)

Date of Purchase: July 2007
Purchased from: Local Photographer

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

Shipping and Paypal Info:
Will ship via UPS Ground Insured for Free.
Will accept Paypal.

Items Included:
  • Canon 300 f/4 L IS lens
  • Both lens caps
  • Canon soft case
  • Owner's manual
  • Original box

More Info Here:
Canon | Telephoto EF 300mm f/4.0L IS Image Stabilizer | 2530A004

Photos of the lens (taken today)

Too expensive or not a desirable lens? No inquiries yet.

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.

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 :)

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

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
