My idea was 17-40 lens. It ended up with 120-300/2.8 OS. A dream lens is maybe, back home again.

Earlier today I sold my 24-70 / 4L IS at a good price. The idea was that I would buy a 17-40 / 4L or 16-35mm f / 4L. But it changed direction quickly.

In 2014 I bought my most expensive lenses ever. A sigma 120-300 / 2.8 OS. I was very happy with the sharpness and everything. The problem was the weight and the focal length. 300 mm was shorter when I got to the full format. The back began to hurt when I was overweight. Eventually, I sold it and bought a Tamron 150-600 that I'm happy with. My full-frame cameras handle higher ISO good and when it is possible to shoot with a larger aperture.

Now a year later, I have thought about it and realized that my biggest loss of all sales and exchanges, Sigma 120-300 / 2.8 OS. Today I am in better shape than previously and many shooting situations (from the hide out in the forest) requires fast aperture. The first time I photograph the eagles were in 2014. With Sigma. I made it without problems in low-light conditions with the 2.8 - 3.2 and ISO 1600. Selected photos from this trip. Earlier this year, tested the Tamron in the same lighting conditions and distances, and the same camera. I had to be at f / 7.1 -> f / 10 for good sharpness and ISO 4000 to get the same shutter speed. It was completely different images.

I usually buy from a store with used market and have always been pleased. They currently have the first version of the 120-300 / 2.8 without image stabilizer and with inferior picture quality. The price is 1000 USD.

During the afternoon, 120-300 / 2.8 OS is in stock. Complete with everything. The condition was grade B (a-b-c). The price was 940 USD. I took it right away. There is another shop selling a used example, but for 1600 USD. My idea is to have this lens for all situations that require a similar lens. My 150-600 will still be used the most, if the weather allows it. On Wednesday, I get the answer to how 120-300 / 2.8 OS is and looks like. More information to come. Hoping for a good copy.

My old 28-90 / 4.5-5.6 II may help me in situations that require a normal zoom for a while.

948 is a great price for a good lens like this. I also bought mine this year, brand new at 2200

I hope it's in good shape though but I trust this store because I've bought used lenses from them many times and they don't lie about the condition. tomorrow I'll see

seems odd to me that the non OS would be more expensive....good luck

Me too. This store has three stores in the country so when a person comes in to a store to sell gear I think it different people every time that decide a price they think is good so sometimes there are lenses that are overpriced. My lens was sent earlier today. To be continued, hopefully tomorrow ߘ
