Finally got my 70-200 f/2.8L IS

I've been trying to sell an engagement ring I had no use for on craigslist for the past 6 months so I can get me this lens.
So last night I thought of putting the ring for trade in the photo section of craigslist.
3 hours later I got a call on it. Today I met the guy and it was a smooth trade, he got the ring so he can go on with his married life.
And I got the lens I wanted. The guy said he only used it 2 time, and I belive him, their is no trace that this lens was ever used.

here it is

that's one purrdy lens.

great choice

Incredible how popular this lens is, and with good reason.

Congrats on the new glass.

You're going to love this lens so much. It's my favorite lens out of all of mine.

Congrats! Thats right at the top of my "to purchase next" list. I'm jealous!!! lol

You traded an engagement ring for a 70-200 2.8 IS?
Hhmmm... my wife's a pretty sound sleeper.
I wonder if.....
Nah, she'd miss it sooner or later.
Gold ring to a red ring. Nice upgrade!

Definitely a nice upgrade.
Enjoy the amazing lens, it's my favourite

Mmmmm...nice! One of these will hopefully be winging its way to me soon. I can't wait

If she won't sleep through the tugging, just take the whole finger...

That's too messy. Trade the whole wife. You might have to put up more cash for the lens though. Kind of like paying someone to haul a junk car away.

You're saying trade the whole wife and you're worried about messy?

The finger will heal .. lawyers are forever...

I can't stand the site of blood. Lawyers can suck it out of you without letting you see a drop of it. Besides, when you start cuttin' off appendages, you ruin perfectly good sheets.

QFT...

thanks to all, and I'm pretty sure I will enjoy it. Now I just need to go find some time to use it.

PS: just dip her finger in a cup full of Crisco, and the ring will come right off.

RIP
