FS: Canon EF 100-400L (Conus)

Up for sale is my Canon EF 100-400L Version 1 lens.

I recently upgraded to the Mark II version of this lens and am ready to sell this gem. It is in outstanding condition. I purchased this USA lens in November of 2012. After purchasing it, I shifted towards portraiture and was not shooting subjects that required a lot of reach. And when I did start shooting wildlife and birds, I mostly used my newly acquired 500L. I just checked my Aperture library and I have only taken 942 pictures with this lens, so it has seen very little use and is in outstanding condition. It literally has only been used on three outings. The glass is pristine and the body does not have any scratches or blemishes. The lens hood does have a couple of very minor scuffs, however, I am proud to report there is not a single piece of dust visible inside the lens. I will also include the new Canon center-pinch lens cap, which I bought after this lens came out.

I have found this lens to have excellent IQ and it produces sharp images on both my 5D Mark III and 7D Mark II. It comes from a non-smoking home and has always been stored in a climate-controlled and humidity-controlled case when not in use.

Yes, the new Mark II has some advantages over the Mark I, however this lens is a steal when you consider that I am selling it for $900 less than the Mark II. It is a stellar performer that shines in street photography, wildlife, birding, daylight sports and more.

At B&H and Adorama, the price of this lens is $1,399.

I will sell this lens for $975, and as always with everything I sell, I’ll pay the PayPal fees and USPS Priority Mail shipping costs. Please know up front that I’m pricing this extremely well at a no-haggle price and the price is firm. Yes, there may be a few used 100-400s for sale on POTN that are a little cheaper, but none have the ultra-low mileage this lens has. The lens will arrive in its Canon box as if it were new and the Canon box will be over-protected with excellent padding inside an ultra-strong double-corrugated cardboard box. You’re assured of a premium service when I sell to you!

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!

Again, this is a 100-400L with very low mileage. It's only been used 3 times and has only taken 942 pictures! You won't find another lens on the market as well taken care of as this one.

Last call! I'm moving tomorrow and after 6pm on Wed, July 29th, this like-new lens will no longer be available.

Final price drop: now only $975. I cover the PayPal fees and will pay for 2-day USPS Priority Mail shipping. As I mentioned before, there may be cheaper used copies available, but none have the ultra-low mileage that this one has!

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