I am selling my Canon 600 f4 IS lens. It is in excellent condition and has been recently cleaned and had minor repairs by a Canon authorized service center. It comes with the hood, the strap, front leatherette cover, rear lens cap and a Tenba travel case. I am asking $6000. Buyer pays shipping and any paypal fees. I can email pix of the lens.

Glass is flawless. There are a few minor rub marks on the body of the lens, but nothing major. This is a very sharp lens. I have excellent feedback on Evilbay under baystarbp.

it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

I haven't been *that* good for years. I'll probably get 600mm of coal.

Again.

Hey Cadenza,
Sounds like your "Santa" is very well off, GEEZ! Being a "birder" myself, i would very much like to find that lense in my "stocking". I would probably have to work in ''Santa's Workshop" for 30years to make the payments, HEHE!
Besides "Mrs.Claus" would probably kick me outta the house and into the barn with "Rudolph", when she got the Amex Bill! AHHH, I can always FANTACIZE???

We don't get much demand for coal out here. We just get sand....lots and lots of sand.

BTW, I have a Wimberly QR plate for the 600mm EF lens. B&H sent it to me believing it would fit my FD 600. It doesn't, so it's going back.

Uh, wait. Maybe I should buy that plate off of you, just in case I get a 600mm for Christmas. On second thought, go ahead and send it back. I've been just as good as Scott so I guess I'm going to get some coal, too. :confused:
