FS: Canon EF 16-35 f/2.8L II (CONUS)

Up for sale is a Canon EF 16-35 f/2.8L II lens.

I purchased the 16-35 f/4 version of this lens for landscape use and no longer need the faster f/2.8 aperture. This USA lens was purchased new in March of 2012 and is in outstanding condition. The glass is flawless and there are no scratches or blemishes anywhere on the body of the lens. There are a couple of very minor smudge marks on the Canon hood. As a bonus, I'm including the new Canon center-pinch lens cap.

It comes from a non-smoking home and has always been stored in a climate-controlled and humidity-controlled case. This is an excellent lens for wedding and event photography. If you require a wide-angle zoom lens with a fast aperture, this is as good as it gets!

At Adorama and B&H, the price of this lens is $1,499 after the current $100 mail-in rebate.

I will sell this lens for $1095 Edit: Price drop to $1,025! As always with everything I sell, I’ll pay the PayPal fees and insured shipping via USPS Priority Mail. This lens comes with all original Canon packaging and will arrive as if you bought it new. I package things very well. Please know up front that I’m pricing this extremely well at a no-haggle price and the price is firm.

I have sold and bought a lot of things on POTN over the years and I have a reputation for providing exact descriptions of what I sell, and I always follow through with excellent communication. I am a trusted seller and you can find excellent feedback on me by searching for my user name in this thread here. At this time, I am only interested in selling it within the CONUS and will only sell to a verified PayPal shipping address. I reserve the right to research feedback or posting history and sell to a buyer of my choosing.

If I can answer any questions for you, please do not hesitate to ask. I enjoy talking about lenses and helping people choose gear that is right for them.

Thanks for looking!
Bryan

Additional info: this is a pristine copy of this lens! Other then a few very minor smudges on the lens hood which are very hard to see, the actual lens looks brand new. I take excellent care of my equipment.

Also, I pride myself in excellent communication and over-the-top customer service when selling my gear. In addition to the lens being packaged in the Canon box as if it were new, I also wrap the Canon box in thick bubble wrap and then surround it with airbags. I use USPS Priority Mail 2-day shipping. I spare no expense when selling a lens and do everything I can to make it a great buying experience for you.

Very interested but I live in Ontario. I have bought and sold on POTN before. I'm not an avid poster but always some back when I'm selling or buying. Please let me know. Angela

Hi Angela. I just sent you a PM with more info. I normally don't sell international due to the extra fees, and almost just as important, the extra time it takes to fill out the customs forms and the mandatory wait in line at the Post Office (versus doing all of the shipping online with zero wait.) However, if you're willing to cover the extra fees involved, then we might be able to work something out.

For anyone else reading this, I won't be able to update this thread for another 24 hours, so if anyone else is interested in this lens, please do not hesitate to reply here or send me a PM. If any potential deal falls through with Angela, then you'll be next in line.

Cheers,
Bryan

I'm moving now, so this item is off the market.
