Title: FS: Canon 85mm f/1.2 II USM lens
Post by: Rusty Jackson on May 25, 2009, 10:14:33 am
I am the original owner of this lens, purchased new from B&H Photo in September 2007. It is an amazing lens for subject isolation and/or low light work. I am selling it to buy a new TS-E lens. It comes with box, soft case, manual, lens cap, and lens hood.  BW filter that is on the lens in some photos is NOT included.

Asking $1500.00 USD.  I'll lower this $50 every week or two until it is sold.

I am in Austin, Texas. I will not ship unless the buyer wants to use Paypal, will pay the Paypal fees, AND SHIPPING, and do it all within 48 hrs of an agreement. Please call Rusty at 512-560-7711 or send me an email.

In addition to the Craigslist posting I have below I have uploaded a few more very large images of the lens, along with one example image taken at f/1.2.

I think I will be able to afford this in close to 30 weeks.

I feel the same way about the 24mm TS-E lens.

Cool.  But that means I still can't afford it for two more weeks, and need it in two days

Good luck with your sale,

B&H has it in stock for $1770 (after rebate).  They can ship fast.

Go for it.  It's a great lens and theirs is identical to mine.
