Canon 300mm f2.8 in the UK

I bought a 300 F4 off Ian kerso which had a foreign body in it - with the receipt and international warranty it was fixed for free by Colchester Camera repairs.

Hi my local shop in Brixham had a secondhand 400 f2.8 l is lens listed for £ 2700

thats a mkii though still alot of change for the mkii

depending on how scruffy the IS one in they have that might be a very good buy

Yes I suspect it's a bit well used,
on another note they once had a lovely old ef 200 f 1.8 and tried to persuade a friend to buy it but he went for a 85 1.2 instead.

Damn it was in lovely condition but sadly didn't have the £ 2000 at the time

What's misfits like on warranties lot of cash to splash if they don't come with a warranty.

BTW with the 300 try martins or Jacob's both had them in at about 2800

I think the warranties are pretty short maybe only 3 months and to be honest have never actually purchased an item from them but they do have a good selection of pro gear avilable and are Canon specialists.

Thanks Sigmonster but I've just put a deposit down on a 300mm f2.8 that SHOULD be in stock on Monday
