Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 IS USM F/4.5-5.6 L IS USM Lens

[ardeagold]

I'm going to sell my lens and wanted to post it here first in case anyone is interested. Used lenses of the same type are being sold on eBay for an average of $1050. Please let me know if you're interested.

It's been used about 4x since I've owned it. It's in perfect condition, and I have the original box/packaging from Canon.

It comes with all original boxed parts (carrying case, front and rear lens cap covers, lens hood, etc)

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Product Information[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM is Canon's fourth Image Stabilizer lens. It is a high-performance L-series telephoto zoom lens offering sophisticated features and high image quality, which is to succeed the existing EF 100-300mm f/5.6L lens. Besides having an Image Stabilizer, this new lens also features enhancements such as ring USM for silent AF, rear focusing, a longer focal length range, and fluorite and Super UD elements, which correct secondary chromatic aberrations for high image quality. It is the first EF zoom lens to have both rear focusing and a floating system to obtain high image quality at all focal lengths. With the EOS 3, autofocusing is possible while the EF 1.4x is attached to the lens.[/FONT]

Might be interested. How old is the lens? It's IS and not IS II?

Mudji...it's as stated. It's the IS. I don't see an ISII for that lens on the Canon site. It's a telephoto zoom...not a telephoto or super telephoto.

It's a couple of years old. I haven't used it more than 4-5x.

GAD...got it and replied.

Forwarded the link to a photographer friend of mine. He's just switched from Nikon to Canon and might be interested.

Good luck!

Thanks Hannah! You can tell him I'll have a Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L with soft carrying case and a EW 83F hood plus a Canon 77mm uv haze filter (which I purchased separately but will go with the camera), for sale soon too. Not sure when, but I never use it, so it'll be within a month or so.

It's not the L II, it's the L

It's a couple of years old too. I got them around the same time and have used this one less than the 100-400. I take photos of dogs racing around our pond (WATER) and sand and fields, mostly, and I was always afraid of damaging it so I wouldn't use it. I'd use my standard lenses instead.

Donna, I'll pass that along. Me, I just got the 24-70 f/2.8 L II. Have not used it a lot, but really love it. Maybe not the price, but I think it's the last one I'll ever need.

Thanks,
hannah
