LOL. Yes I looked at this sometime ago. Great price but not so good condition.

**Sonsey** · 26-04-2008, 16:02

Yeah it does look a bit knackered unfortunately.

**Dabhand16** · 26-04-2008, 16:04

They say it is excellent (minus) condition. I guess that is 'sellertalk'

This lens seems to be the bread and butter lens for pro's covering football and rugby.

A pro I was shooting along side at a recent sporting event had one which was also well battered around the lens hood.

How much would you pay for a mint one then ?

If I could justify the purchase I would buy a new one

It depends, I guess due to fact that not many mint ones come onto the UK 2nd hand market keeps the prices quite high. For example that same site has a 2nd hand EF400 DO IS going for £2500 but you can import a new one for £2800, so the 2nd hand price level is (unfortunately for us bargain hunters) not yet influenced too much by import prices.

Matt used to live in my home town before moving to the coast. I did ask him a while ago if he'd be interested in doing a 'hire' arrangement where I'd 'buy' a lens for the weekend as such.

He didn't want to go for that
