"Brand new" 28-70L

I just picked up this set, at a very very nice price.
The guy selling was a Noink fan and he's father died leaving him this.
He didn't have the manual for the camera and the 28-70 is missing the hood, but everything is in absolute mint condish. The paint on the edge of the flash shoe is not even worn and it even came with a decent bag.

I just wanted the 28-70 of course, but on my way home i got some film (its this special kind of memorycard that comes in a black circular container) so i hope to get a few shoots of with this little gem tomorrow, weather allowing.
(time to update that signature i guess...)

Just out of curiosity, what did you pay for the whole setup?

5.000,- danish kroner. That translates to about 780$
The 28-70 alone sells for about 6.000,- DKR ~ 950$ around here.

How much did you pay for the package?

You wanna sell the Lens?

No way!
To quote myself: "I just wanted the 28-70 of course"

Sorry Bluedog, but the lense was the reason for buying.

Nice buy. I love my 28-70. I haven't been tempted at all by the 24-70 simply because I get such great results with this lens.

Have fun!

Joking aside it looks very good indeed.

Thanx Blue

If i ever get tired of this baby, I promish you will be the first to know!

One thing is worrying me though... It seems to be noticably sharper and more colorfull than my 24-105L, whats up with that..?
(have to do some testing of course - this is just my current impression)
