Title: Anyone into photo? Looking for a lens for sale... Post by: hiero on February 25, 2011, 07:06:35 AM Hey folks, just thought I'd put a feeler out, but is anyone into the whole photography thing? I'm currently in the market for a Canon EF 70-200mm f4L (or f2.8L if you're feeling generous!) lens and was hoping someone on the boards might be willing to give a guy a good deal on one. I'd be willing to trade some moto service (valve adjustment??) too! ;D
Let me know! Title: Re: Anyone into photo? Looking for a lens for sale...

Sharp as a tack, beautiful bokeh wide open and the Image Stabilization lets me shoot down to 1/30 - 1/15 at 200mm. If you can swing it, go with the IS; you won't regret it. I had the Mk1 non-IS a few years back and, though it produced stunning results, it was difficult to use in lower lighting situations. With the IS, I no longer worry about it as I know I can use it in most any situation. Keep your eyes open on Craigslist and also check out this forum which stays pretty active: http://www.texasphotoforum.com/forum/buy-sell/ (http://www.texasphotoforum.com/forum/buy-sell/) Good luck!

I got dibs though if you happen to pass on this weary world :P Title: Re: Anyone into photo? Looking for a lens for sale...

I don't want the IS model on this one if it's a f4... |
