For sale: Canon EF 24-85 f3.5-4.5 USM Lens with EW-73II hood - $250

Includes box, caps, docs.

Ultra-wide zoom lens with portrait-length telephoto capability. By having multiple lens groups move during zooming, the lens was made compact and lightweight. The Aspherical element suppresses distortion. High contrast is maintained at all focal lengths and sharp images are obtained.

PM me.

    This is the lens that's on the top of my list when I get my 20D. Unfortunately, that 20D will be in my hands in about 2 months. I wish I could get it now!

    ^Hold that thought...If I can find a 20D body only for cheap enough, I just might buy the body only, and buy this lens you're selling. I would need to find the body for about $1300, which I'm sure I may have a hard time finding from a reputable dealer.

    Just curious....Is this the black or silver version of the lens?

    I wasn't aware they made it in silver...so no, it's black.


    fwiw, ibuydigital.com and dbuys.com (same outfit, I think) have it for about $1300. I've purchased from ibuydigital.com and it worked out okay.

    Adorama has it for $1388 shipped...won't that work for you?







    pipe down, humungus. at least I HAVE a camera. :heh

    I guess it won't work out. Parent's don't want me to get it online because if anything is wrong with the camera, it will be a lot harder returning it than just driving it back to Costco. Sorry.bncry.gif

    I bought my 20D at buydig.com a couple of weeks ago. Normally I buy my bodies and lenses at a local store, but just couldn't afford it this time. It's a good'un.

    Also have the 24-85, and it performs amazingly better on the 20D than it did on the 10D. So I don't have L lust as badly, this is a great buy!
