Ok- I am selling my gear, but as I won't get much for my 40d I am thinking of getting a long lens for the times my new EVIL won't manage. The main things I can think of are sports and churches. Sports, ok, churches ? Pretty sure everyone is going to say the 2.8. Would 135Lwork, wonder...

paid 600 on ebay for mint one with box, hood etc. Zero marks, perfect really. Also with Kenko UV

given that this is not for sale until may 5th, i expect the prices are MSRP rather than market price

No - the items are made in japan. So they IMPORT the parts, so for the company they are now more expensive to make. A 30% rise in raw material costs will correlate to an even higher final price increase as they want to maintain margins. Also, as their currency is weaker EVERYTHING is more...

agreed, but i take the waist straps off. Generally not an issue. Also, try not to look like its heavy.....it can easily be over the 10k limit if you stuff it :)

just one thought for others - the guys there probably drive a less powerful car. BIG difference with what happens when you quickly depress the accelerator on an M3 vs a V Polo - maybe just not used to the power??? I remember dropping off a manual S4 at a valet place. Wheelspun away...

the buyer clearly wants me to relist it and not start proceedings with paypal. Here is his latest email "Dear cressers1, here is the mesage from ebay after i asked them how to do Hello Mister Decourciere, We thank you for your message. Indeed, the salesman "cressers1" attributed(awarded) you...

Yeah, I need to file non-paying bidder to recover my fees. It was best offer - hope I can leave some feedback. Was selling a 35L which is starting to become a hassle of a lens to sell for some reason!!

16-35 2.8 24-70 2.8 70-200 4 (soon to be 2.8) This is a HEAVY bag :)

1. Gorillapod SLR 2. rucksak of some kind for day trips out 3. Full frame camera

Set up auction for lens, with buyit now or best offer. Someone did buy it now, then instantly sent email saying "i am havng bank trouble so will need to pay in a few days" Then "sorry, cant pay, lets mutually agree to close it" I need to report him otherwise I will need to pay the...

Exactly, and if you start with this focus test, and find something "wrong" - you easily find fault with ANYTHING - its a slippery slope.

Yeah I am. I started off with "no way" - but couldn't be a b@stard. Basically, there is nothing wrong with the lens, but he thinks there is. He is really stressed as this is a lot of money. I know I can sell it on, so I saw no point in leaving this guy in misery.

LOL, yeah its awful :p Does not focus if you jump up and down while composing ;)
