Canon lenses for sale
I dumped my 5D a few days ago. I don’t really want to go into the why’s in this post. I will create a post about my decision to step back from digital in the future, but at the moment, I can’t really comment on it. It’s still too soon for me to be clear on why I’ve done it. But It’s really something I had to do (sometimes, I can’t explain my reasons, I just have a gut feeling, and in this case, digital has not felt like the way forward for me for some time. Now that I’m back using film I feel much happier and feel I’m on the right track… for the time being).
So I’ve got a few Canon lenses for sale. They are all in mint condition, boxed with end caps and where appropriate, lens hoods.
£360 Canon 70-200 f4 L (just as good as the f2.8 lens I’ve used in the past in terms of optical performance).
£300 Canon 100 f2.8 macro (this is a superb lens, one of the best in the canon range I’ve used)
£200 Canon 50 f1.4 (much better than the 1.8 lens, not just faster, but sharper too).
£180 Canon 24 f2.8 (I tested this against the 24L and came to the conclusion that the 24L was a waste of money)
All are mint, no marks on lens elements, or cosmetic blemishes and all have had light use.
If you are interested, e-mail me for photos of the items.





Mint condition ??? You’re not trying hard enough :-)

Clearly not. I’ve had so many people telling me they want the lenses, but don’t commit. So they’re off to eBay as I type.

Guilty – I am one of the accused. I totally missed your email letting me know the lens was still available. If it is I am still VERY interested – PayPal screen open in the next tab as I type. If it is on eBay I will toss in my bids but I didn’t see it when I looked. Hope this means that it is still available. Let me know

All the lenses are sold now except the 24 f2.8 which is still available.
