Sold, please remove.

Excellent macro lens in mint condition - selling this (and some other stufF I posted here) to purchase an upgrade.

Retails for 677,000won here

Now asking 415,000won (down from 480,000) - This is the last price drop. If this doesn't go by Friday, I'm taking it to Namdaemun as this is pretty much what the dealers will give me for it. -- so I figure i might as well offer it up to you folks first. It's a great macro lens, and also great to use as a prime lens.

If you're interested or have any questions, send me an E-mail at [email protected]

Would you be up for a swap with my 30mm 1.4 sigma?

Does it have IS???

No, it doesn't have IS. The only canon macro with IS is the L version, which is almost three times the price.

[texasspangler]

I really wouldn't say it is 3 times the price for the L series since you can get it for around 900 bucks (non IS 600). I was just hoping for that price I would get lucky... good luck with your sale.

900 bucks? Hmmm...maybe that's so in the States. But we're in Korea, prices here ain't the same....unfortunately.

That's the cheapest I can find it for. You're looking at at around 1.3mil here for the macro L. Not quite three times, but more than double of what I'm chargin...haha. If you do know of some place selling it for 900,000 lemme know, cause I'm selling this lens so that I can finance an upgrade to the 100mm L macro. Nobody in Namdaemun has it second hand, either, which is a drag....too new.

Bump - price drop

[Kimchi Joe]

Yeah I can vouch for the versatility of the macro lens (having used one in the past). Not only do you get the macro, but you also get a good prime lens. So it�s like two lenses in one. If you think of the price difference between buying something like the 105mm 2.0 NON-macro lens (which I can only find at around 560 pounds = 952 000 w online) and the 100mm F2.8, it only makes sense to go for the one WITH the macro function. Having said that I think you got your lens up here at a good price in any case and that that alone should make it sell pretty fast. Just me two cents on the topic.

Peace out,

K.J.
