| How much are you asking for it? I'm heading to Namdaemun tomorrow to look for a similar lens (I was thinking Tamron or EFS) with a spending limit of 1 million. I haven't checked out this lens yet--give us a ballpark figure... |

| That's a pretty good deal for a great lens. By the way - it's not really fair to compare camera selling prices in the States to Korea. There's the obvious Won to Dollar exchange rate difference plus an additional markup. You're looking at 1.4-1.5mil for a new 70-200 f/4 IS lens here. |

Thanks for the bump. Yeah, it's a great lens.. was really surprised how sharp and how well the IS system works. I just need the cash at the moment.
It's hardly been used so I think 1.08 mil is a fair price. Still up for grabs to those who are interested! I can send a few sample photos if you PM me your email. |

1.08 mil is definitely a fair price.
If you still have it for sale by the end of the month then PM me. |

Yup VERY fair price. I use that lens a lot so I know just how excellent it is. I can't see why it wouldn't sell if it is in great condition.
Also, yes the IS system on that lens is pretty remarkable. |

Shame I hadn't seen the price before heading to Namdaemun and blowing 750k on the Tamron 70-200 2.8. or maybe not--I'm pretty happy with my purchase, despite not having any IS. We'll see if the speed makes up for it.
The Canon 70-200 2.8 IS is very nice, but at 1.6 mil. used, too pricey for my wallet. |
