I'm seriously considering selling my 18-200mm Sigma for a Canon mount. Almost all of the pictures I have taken in the last two years were taken with this lens and while it still works great I find that these days I shoot in available low light, and rarely go behind 80mm. In other words, I need prime lenses not a zoom lens.
I don't see any cosmetic damage and it works fine. Right now it has a Hoya circular polarizer stuck on the end. I will also include one or two extra filters I have for it.
I'd prefer to trade for a prime lens but am willing to consider other trades.
Alternatively, I am willing to sell the lens outright. If you can find a good deal on ebay from a reputable seller for this lens I am willing to negotiate to sell it for a bit less when you take into consideration the exchange rate.
Or, if you have the time, I'd be willing to sell it for a price in between what they seem to sell this thing for in Namdaemun and what they will offer to buy it for.
Basically, I just want to cut out the middle man in the process of buying a lens so we can both get a deal we're happy with. I'll leave this up here for a few weeks and if no one is interested I'll probably just go to Namdaemun to whomever offers me this best deal.
To get an idea of the quality here are photos taken with the same lens I have:

Here are photos taken with my lens:

Some of the most recent photos are taken with a 50mm prime 1.8 and some of the oldest photos are taken with a 35mm photos. 98% of the rest of these photos were shot with this lens.

An auction isn't exactly what I had in mind.

The 200 000 was more of an offer then.

Do you still have the lens? I'd be happy to pay a "fair price". What do you think that is? [email protected]
