Title pretty much says it all. Needs to be in great condition or new. Will pay extra for Tripod collar and UV and or ND filters.

Paypal is ready.

+K for bumps
 
haha word. Someone is selling the f/2.8 IS II on craigslist for less then a grand. Killer deal. But dont know if i am ready to spend that much money on a lens.
 
... how much less than a grand?thats probably one of the best deals your going to get. if you dont buy it and you get into photography your going to be kicking yourself in the ass. dont get me wrong the f4 is a great lens, but i love my f/2.8 ii. maybe a little heavy, but i love being able to step down to 2.8 when i really want too.

otherwise, good luck in your search, someones gotta be selling one...

This. But I have The f/4L non-is and it is amazing, tack sharp all the way through even when wide open, creamy bokeh wide open as well, such a great lens, mine was only $500.
 
haha i was tired this morning and didnt think of it being a scam. my bad.there are a couple f4's on ebay, i saw some for like around 500
 
well if your budget allows you to drop 2k on a lens then yes, definitely worth it. I love the IS in it, such a handy tool to have for filming long focal lengths (i dont care what anyone says, even nice sticks can't get rid of all the micro jitters)
 
Is there any downside to using IS on a tripod? Everyone says alwaya turn it off, but I dont understand why you wouldnt just keep it on...
 
i read once that 1 reason that it's bad is when you have it on and you start panning, the IS tries to work against the movement for a moment. this was for video camera's IS though, not sure if it's the same or not.
 
I've used decent sticks, just not in decent locations I guess. Windy and on hard to level terrain didn't work 100% perfectly.
 
sounds good, I honestly almost never use mine, just need to decide if 85mm on a crop is all I'll ever need
