Congrats! I figured you'd get a good price for it. A good Canon lens, regardless of being an L or not, will hold its value.

I've decided to hold off on that lens myself. I don't absolutely need it right now and don't foresee a need for awhile. I may need the Sigma 30 if I shoot live bands at a local pub but that doesn't look as promising as it did earlier either.

Pretty happy with the result, figured anything over AUD350 (approx USD250) was a bonus.

Only a small dent in a new 85mm L II though.:(

Hey Christian,

Didn't you say you were going to sell the 300 f/4 too? Is that still the plan?

It is my plan now, just wanted to have confirmation on the new 85 before I went ahead.

Prolly put it up tomorrow.

[sherlock]

Cool cool. How much you think you're gonna get for it? I see them going new for $1150 US ($1555 AUSD?) at B+H.

[cwphoto]

That low huh?

The sticker price here is AUD2,799 so was hoping for around AUD1,300 but now I'm not so sure...

[sherlock]

Yea, see it here:

I'm pretty sure thats the right lens...although they show it in the new brown-ish color which I really don't like. But who am I to comment? :confused: :D

We will see. There are still a shitload of ignorant Aussies around who have no idea about internet-shopping in general or B&H in particular.;)

[sherlock]

Hahaha well you can always count on the dumb ones to shine in your time of need! lol

eBay is a hotbed of ignorant shoppers. I sold that used Minolta IV Auto Meter for $215 plus shipping on there. I paid $150 for it. ;)


You can have a brand new Minolta V for $219.95 from B&H... :)

Oops!!!! I am going to order my 1.4 tomorrow. Sorry bout that CW - I forgot you were wanting to offload your 1.4 I may have considered it had I recalled or known which ever the case is - but the important thing is that it sold and it sold fast, which it should have!

No dramas Parm, I would however prefer to do business with someone totally anonymous, IYKWIM.

Even though it has been well taken care of, I always feel uncomfortable doing business with people I know.

I had emailed him about buying it but we decided 'til shipping was figured up, the savings wouldn't be all that significant. $315 brand new @ B&H plus $26.95 for the hood.

Good deal - You have point though with the business dealings. . . If my initial pictures would have been crappy I would have totally blamed you and mailed it back in a cracker jack box! ;) just kidding bud. . . I was under the impression it would perform better having been broken in on a seasoned pro's camera body. . . ? oh well ;)

No such luck - I bought it brand new myself...:p
