FS (Canada): Canon EF 400 f/4 DO IS Super Telephoto

Harv

I had this lens listed for sale several weeks ago and ended up withdrawing it. Originally it was paired with a 7D. I have since gone back to a 1-Series body, having acquired a 1D Mark IV and a 500 f/4L IS to pair with it.

As a result...

For sale is my pristine (literally 'as new') EF 400 f/4 DO IS super telephoto lens. I am the original owner of this lens, having purchased it new in March of this year. It has been protected with a LensCoat since it first came out of the box. I'm anal about my gear and this lens has been babied by me. There is not so much as a mark or spec of dust on or in this lens. The date code is 'UX'.

It is being offered complete with the LensCoat ($105 Can. value) and all the original stuff that came with it. Included are the lens, hood, rear cap, front leather cap, manual, hard luggage case with key, tripod ring and original shipping carton.

Unlike reviews of earlier production units, this copy is super sharp and handled the 1.4xTC very well. I have included some images below that were taken with this lens. It has performed equally well with my 7D, 1D MkIII and 1D MkIV.



Here are some images shot with this lens...











Here is one taken using the 1.4xTC



The best price I have seen for this lens and LensCoat in Ontario, including tax, is almost $7,200.

My price..... $5,500

ALL PRICES ARE IN CANADIAN DOLLARS


Preferred method of payment is cash (of course), EMT, Certified Cheque or Cashiers Cheque.

Shipping is extra if required and I will only ship Xpress Post, Insured.

Time to throw in some sweet-potato pie, Harv.:eat

BTW folks...I've been capturing images with this lens for some time now. Best field lens available IMO. This price can't be matched for an as new lens. Harv is trustworthy (one of those Canadians...you know).

Here Harv...I guess you better give this to the Misses!

Ingredients

• 1 (1 pound) sweet potato
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust

Directions

1. Boil sweet potato whole in skin for 40 to 50 minutes, or until done. Run cold water over the sweet potato, and remove the skin.
2. Break apart sweet potato in a bowl. Add butter, and mix well with mixer. Stir in sugar, milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until mixture is smooth. Pour filling into an unbaked pie crust.
3. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 55 to 60 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Pie will puff up like a souffle, and then will sink down as it cools.

Thanks for both the recipe and the plug, Ric. Much appreciated.
