300 F/2.8 L owners

I use a 300 2.8 L is mark I that I bought used about a year ago I think. I have used it with a 6d and a 70d and a 2x extender frequently and loved it. I have used it for the past two weeks with a 7d2 and the focus is great. I have an big egret picture in a thread of mine about my new toy.

This is better than Viagra

congrats! and enjoy your new toy in good health!

$3700 for the v2 is an amazing deal. I'm not sure the v1 was even made in 2011 anymore. I'd have jumped all over that, too! Let me know!

its actually a 2010 model UZ and I checked with canon and 2009 was the last yer for a V1. So it should be currrent

pretty stoked with the deal

I hope it pans out for you. My worry? I don't think the newer supersedes have date codes engraved on the mount. I could be wrong; I'be heard of UY 300/2.8 v1's but not UZ's. I guess they could be date marked externally (i.e. using serial number to check year of manufacture).

Isreal at B&H said it was a V2 but didnt see a V on the barrell like canon said was there. he was in a hurry. I will find out Thursday
