Hi! Remember me? I have been missing from here ever since I got drafted in December 2005. I sold my camera body, the Canon 1DII since I knew it would decrease in value. I loaned the lenses to a friend, nice and safe in my Pelican case. I wanted then to have average use so they would not have issues just sitting in storage.

Well he loves the 35/1.4, 70-200IS and 580EX flash. But he says he hardly ever uses the other stuff. It sits there in the case being ignored. And that's a shame. That is why they are for sale.

Since I am on active duty for another year I have decided to sell the lenses. Before I go to Ebay I will give folks here a shot at it. Now I admit I have not seen the lenses in a while but he assures me they are fine. I will try to get him to take pics and send me links.

I have the boxes, caps, filters, cases, etc, but not all in one place. If the box is not a big deal to you then great. If you just HAVE to have a case, box, cards, etc. and I cannot find it when I go looking in 2 weeks, I hope it is not the end of the world for you. I know I have the lenses. The other stuff is in storage (wife left when I deployed, stuff stored, etc. It was very ugly).

So without any more belly aching, here is what I have and what I would like for them. I bought them after the 1D Mark II came out so that gives you an idea on their age.

ITEM / PRICE / INSURED SHIPPING (combined shipping saves $8.95 per item after 1st)
EF 400/5.6 / $850 / $20 ***SOLD***
EF 85/1.2 first version / $1250 / $22
EF 1.4x II Teleconverter / $200 / $16 ***SOLD***
EF12 extension tube / $45 / $7
Tokina 17/3.5 / $95 / $11 ***SOLD***
Please contact me if you are interested without seeing pictures. I'll post pics as soon as I am able. As for shipping, I will be as fair as I can. I write this sitting in Tajikistan. I'll be in Moscow this weekend and Reno, Nevada on Monday. Lenses are in southern CA.

Any questions? Send me a note to aorobert at gmail dot com.

As for shipping and all... I just hit the USPS site and got rates.

Payments-- USPS money order is awesome, paypal with 3% is okay, personal check with clearance time or member vetting is okay too.

Darn, I was just going to grab the 1.4x TC, myself. If it's from luckyrwe, would trust her condition description w/o seeing photos.

Oh well -- congrats on a good "snag", Denis!

The 17mm is AF as well. I will be on the plane in 24 hours and unable to check in again until Sunday or Monday Pacific time.

SoBad

Dang it. I'm lookng for a 1.4 TC too. You guys are quick.

luckyrwe

Well if he does not email me back soon it'll go to the next guy. He has very little feedback and I have had trolls lock up sales before. I really prefer it if buyers are quick on the rebound.

mattmacf

I'd love the 17mm if nobody else has claimed it yet. (And do let us know if your friend ever decides to part with that 70-200 )

Troll?? I have substantial feedback on FM and eBay. Been in surgery all day, will make payment now! You guys don't give new guys a chance, don't you?

Well guys, I've decided against picking it up so please move down the list to the next interested party. Thanks.

Denis, I know nothing of your feedback from your posts here. You mentioned nothing of Ebay or your credit worthiness. I did not mean to offend. I have learned the selling Canon lenses can start a feeding frenzy. While one person asks if the lens has both lens caps or not, another person is sending me paypal.

"CR" wanted the Tokina and know what? I get up today to find $ sent to me by paypal. Talk about on the ball.

***THE 17MM IS NOW SOLD.***

PHOTOBUG: Your shot at the EF1.4x, please post yea or nay and paypal me. If you are not interested it goes back on the block.

If anyone does buy the other items and paypals me like CR did, please post here that paypal is sent. Thanks a heap.

luckyrwe

bump.

I'll take it!

I'm conducting this from a business trip in China, so my replies might be delayed by up to a day due to the time difference. (geez, talk about a global economy -- I'm writing this in China, you're in Tajikistan, Moscow, and Reno, your lenses are in southern CA, and everyone else reading this is spread all over the world...)

I just now PayPal'd you, using the "aorobert" email address in your original posting.

And good luck on your tour of duty -- it must be stressful, not to mention incredibly disruptive of what was your "normal" life before your tour started. Thanks for being there for all of us!!

The EF 1.4x is now sold.

400, 85 and EF12 still available.

luckyrwe
