CANON TELE LENS FOR SALE (UPDATED)

Unread post by RailCanon »

Alright, since I now have a 70-200 F4L, I have no need for my old Canon EF 100-300 f/4.5-5.6 USM telephoto lens. In addition, I also need to find a new wide-angle lens of some sort for my camera, as my EF-S 18-55 is beginning to fail. To offset the cost of an upgrade, I have decided to sell the 100-300. For a general consumer lens, it is a GREAT asset. It has much better quality than the 70-300 and 75-300 telephoto lenses that are usually offered in kits and does a great job overall. Perfect for a photographer who is just starting out or on a tight budget. The lens is in great condition with no scratches or problems. It gave me nearly two years of use and was my primary lens for most of the time I've had it.
Here's a stock photo:

The going price is $230. If anyone is interested, please let me know either here or by PM or E-mail (GTW4070@gmail.com).

Okay, I have someone who is intent on buying the lens, but I have not recieved a payment yet. The lens is still available for now, but if you want it, you have to claim it very soon. If you give me some form of payment before anyone else, it's yours. I'd really like to get this off my hands as soon as possible.

Maybe you're asking too much. Maybe it's not "L" glass. Maybe everyone uses Nikon.

I used Gregg's 100-300 back in Durand this summer. Here's a photo I took with the zoom almost maxed out at 290mm. I would say this is as good as you're going to get for the far end of a non-L superzoom that's not mounted on a tripod.

You're asking too much, right now used copies (in excellent - near mint condition) are going for around $145-$170.
