Why are you selling? Can you post a few photos you have taken with the lens?

iinastynateii · 01-18-2012, 04:43 PM

I'll post some pictures later tonight when I'm free. Reason I'm selling is because I just acquired a 24-105L, which suited my all around needs much better. I really like this lens, but I've just decided to make the 24-105L my workhorse. I loathe switching/carrying too many lens.

Much later than I had intended, but here are some photos shot with the lens. Straight out of camera, no editing done. Click thumbnails to enlarge.

I don't think this guy is still selling his lens. We agreed upon a price and when I asked him for a high resolution sample picture I never heard back.

Obviously I goofed and wrote my reply in the wrong quoted text, but there was an effort to send a reply after his request as made obvious by the double quoting. Here's the same reply I sent to Stephen.

And today after work, my dad burned himself pretty bad in a grease fire, so I've been dealing with all that until now. SO SORRY I didn't have time to send out a high resolution picture to you, but THANKS for the neutral iTrader rating.

Please send me a high resolution photo shot at 2.8 to stephen.pinchback@gmail.com

Sorry I missed your PM, just got home from work. Glass is perfect, I am the second owner, and there was a UV filter on it. It's pretty sharp I'd say. I will email you a photo later tonight or tomorrow morning, as I have family obligations at the moment.

Is the glass in perfect condition? Did you have a filter on the lens? Is it a sharp copy? Are you the first owner?

Thanks,

Stephen

I obviously saw your response in the quotes because I responded with further questions. Where the breakdown occurred is you not responding for 3 days after agreeing on a price. I understand situations come up but it takes less than one minute for you to give the buyer a heads up.

Sorry to hear about your Dad. I wish him a speedy recovery.
