Would you purchase the 70-200 F/4 non IS for 500?
Is that a good deal for this lens?
If not, would you buy it for $450?
Assuming that its in good condition of course.

I tried for so long to get that lens for only $500. Every time I saw a listing for that price, I would immediately call only to be beaten by some other buyer. This happened for long enough for me to save up for the IS version new.

If you can get it for $500 and it is in good shape, jump on it.

525 seems to be the average price... anything higher is high and anything lower is low

I ordered a refurb from Canon for a shade over $600 so $450 would be a great price.

buy it. it's the cheapest "L" glass out there, and having owned one, it does produce "L" quality. obviously you realize it's an f/4 lens and not weather sealed.
