Purchased this lens recently from a HIGHLY respect seller on other board (and the original owner) who I've dealt with on a number of occasions for an atypical (for me) indoor shoot that needed it and while it's a new lens and spectacular in performance, I'll not use it often enough to warrant holding on to it.
I'm the 2nd owner, CDN model, bought new from Vistek (one of the two largest CDN photo houses) in late December 2014. As you can image it's indistinguishable from new. It's all uber-clean, clear and smooth. You could put this back on a shelf and never know the difference from new stock.
Comes with all the material you'd find as new, including original purchase receipt.
Given the current CDN/US exchange rate, it would be a great opp. for a US buyer - and for a CDN to save some $$ and taxes for what is new glass.
Price is CDN$2000 (payable in CDN$ but = app. US$1625) via EMT in Canada or via Paypal (add 3%) plus insured shipping via Canada Post or, if to US (due to Canada's Posts US $1000 insurance limit) Purolator. Shipping is from N.S. postal code B0N 1C0
Some feedback here but more so on FM under same name with 90+ 100% feedback as buyer/seller.
Possible trade items of interest: Profoto B1, Nikon 35/1.8FX, 105VR, 1.4 TC-EII ideally in Canada due to VAT impacting value on cross-border trades.
