SOLD.
be included, price for the lens alone is $1025.00. Box, manual w/torn front page, no front lens cap, back lens cap included, built in hood. AF w manual override. F4 IS USM, two stage IS (for panning). Leather case. A UV haze filter has been on it the whole time I have owned it. No scratches that I know of on the lens or the body.
With the Canon 1.4 teleconverter, they are combined $1200. Paypal is not included. I do have paypal, will except paypal, but I can't afford to pay their fee and the shipping. Regular shipping only. That is another money thing, maybe we could deal.
This item is out of stock at B&H. I love this lens. I want to buy a 400 mm lens, it is actually cheaper than this lens, the 400 has no IS. That is the only reason for selling this one. This is a great lens. You help me make my dream come true with the 400, and I will make your dream come true with the 300, whether with the extender, or not.
I am leaving now to go shoot with it, love it, ask anyone here.
Questions answered, I hope I did not leave anything out, if I did, someone please alert me.

Uh, I don't do product photography..........so far. Just woke up, out back, but I think this is an accurate portrayal of the lens. As you can see the box is mint (humor, sorry)......the lens is mint, too. Any further questions, I can take photos of specific areas, things, etc.
Above the whole lens w filter showing. The lens has been protected by the filter at all times, even now.

I did not put a photo of the carrying case in here, it is big, like a suitcase thing. I don't use it, I put this lens in my Crumpler backpack. I just don't have many lenses, ease of carrying is important to me, so I don't add the suitcase carrier. I can take a photo if you want.
ginger (note the collar is on it. If the collar is not on a tri/mono/pod, I use it to hold the lens)
It has been one of my two main lenses, since Feb, as such, I have taken very good care of it.
Of course, the zoom is over $1600 new, and I could save $500 with this one. And I know Ginger has taken great care of this, even if she does balance it precariously on a stack of cinder blocks on occasion.
*sigh* I think I need to wait a get the zoom. But someone should snap this up, I can't wait to see what Ginger does with a 400mm in her hands!
So I got a kick out of the comment re balancing the lens precariously on cinderblocks.
Actually, the collar of that lens makes a great tool in keeping the lens steady as she comes. No problem there. And I couldn't go out front, I didn't have any "clothes" on. Had to get back to sleep.

Thanks for the comment. I have, in addition to that lens, a 70-200, no IS, F large as in the numbers, the cheap L version, but it fills that gap for me. Had it on a bit yesterday. I use this one primarily at 420 with the extender.
It is difficult when one wants a 1500.00 lens, I went through that, made all these concessions. But sometimes one should wait. I don't know that lens, but it would cover the area that my two lenses cover, easier, and cost no more than mine combined.
I do like Primes, though.
ginger (Why don't you get the 100-400 push/pull thingy. Don't know the cost, but it does go to 400, I hear good stuff on that lens, too. I know some people don't like the push/pull, but I would think it could be gotten used to easily. Rutt said he likes his, or he did.)
On the other hand, you could buy this lens, smile.
I wanted to say that this 300 lens is nicely put back in the case where it is very safe and sound: as in mint.
I'm surprised nobody has stepped up for this, what's up with that?

I just researched the price I would have to pay for the 400mm. I would have to pay $1028.00 at buydig.com. More at B&H, I always buy from B&H, but I am willing to try a less expensive store. That is what I would have to pay for the 400mm.
I did buy the extender new, they are around 270 or so dollars at B&H. I understand that they can be taped to work with the 400 f5.6.
I was thinking more in the lines of reducing the cost of the lens and keeping the TC for now???
But I would not reduce the lens to the price that Maczippy has there. I could go to 925.00, if I didn't have to pay any shipping or Paypal. Then I would have to come up with over 100.00 to buy the 400mm.
That does sound fair to me, having looked around myself at the going prices for a used 300mm. And mine is in really good shape. Owning it is not a problem for me. It does have IS, I am used to carrying it. I did get excellent photos Mon and Tues with it, and many other times, too.
So this wild hair of wanting a 400mm, I will go that low, but no lower. That does seem fair to me.
And that goes for everyone. $925.00 for the 300mm lens, no paypal, no shipping costs for me. And no teleconverter, I will stick with that one until I see whether it works. Otherwise I will not feel whole.
If anyone has a better idea of how I can make this work, please let me know.
