withdrawn: canon 10-22 ef-s mint

Andy · May 24, 2005

ok you all know about this lens - what a treat it is to shoot with! i have an absolutely mint copy, about three months old. it comes with box, rear and front caps, and the elusive canon ew-83 lens hood (sells for $34, and is *not* included with the lens from canon!).

to purchase new, you'd pay approx $799 from a reputable dealer and another $34 for the hood, plus any shipping costs.

my price: $750, which includes the lens and the hood, and shipping within conus.

payment terms: cash, personal check, usps money order, bank check, or paypal ($10 fee to use payal).

buy with confidence, i have a 100% positive transaction record here on dgrin (check the feedback thread, username=andy).

I am going to ask just because I know someone else will. What are you replacing it with?

waxy has lost all credibility in giving you grief, given his big "secret" (read posts 9 thru 13).

Oh, no, well I suppose we will believe it when it comes home to roost.

I see a new Apple Powerbook in his future.

On Topic, why has this lens not sold yet?

Just trying to help you out andy.

wxwax · May 24, 2005

This lens will sell, it's great to have.

So great, I'm confident Andy will have another copy in his hands within the next 6 months.

dragon300zx · May 24, 2005

I'm starting to think we should start a "speculations" site (not gambling no) dedicated to andy's equipment purchases. Could be quite a revenue generator.

Andy will be buying this lens again in about a month. I'll see his bid on it over at FM just like I did for the 35L he sold me.

Chase · May 25, 2005

Isnt 750 a lot for that?

You could buy a new one for 799 from a reputable place.

hi chase

yup, if it can be found, it goes for $799, +$34 for the hood so that's $833, plus let's say $10 for shipping so that's $843... vs. $750 (my price that includes a hood and shipping).

btw, if you have a question about the pricing, the cool thing to do is to pm the seller...

in any case, my price is my price. the market will decide if it's fair, or not

.

cheers

With the amount of glass (or anything else) Andy buys and sells here and at over at FM he's probably more reputable than any store you could find. And as Andy knows what he is doing and has never had a dissatisfied lens buyer you can be sure the glass is in A+ shape.

But like Andy said, that's without shipping, and without the hood. Trust me, outdoors on a sunny day, you'll want the hood. I haven't been able to find one yet myself. Between those two things, you're saving at least another $45.

Not to mention when Andy says something is mint, it's mint. If I didn't already have one, I'd buy it.

How about selling my just the hood?:D

Oooooooh, I guess that notify me when they're in stock option isn't working too well. Thanks, I'll go check.

dragon300zx · May 25, 2005

hmm withdrawn eh. Decide you couldn't part with it afterall?

Andy · May 25, 2005

proving once again that you have to be fast...
... i decided yesterday to withdraw this for sale, at least temporarily... i'm going to use it with my ir-modded rebel.

i'm getting my 16-35L back from windoze (yay!) and i'll also be trying that on the ir-mod. if i can get by with just the 16-35L, then i'll put the 10-22 up for sale again, as i can get the full 16-35 fov on my 1Ds Mark II... so the deciding factor will be if i can live with the 16mm x 1.6 fov factor on the ir-modded rebel... we'll see

yes, apparently when they were handing out clues, i was at b&h

Chase · May 26, 2005

Doh. Didnt know about the pricing questions here. On most forums i go to, the pric9ing is open for debate in the thread, often warning away people who might otherwise get tricked. I guess this place is full of more honest people though.

No its 799 shipped without the lens hood.

windoze · May 26, 2005

It was nice watching over your lens. I feel like a babysitter or should I say "lens-sitter"....

you didn't rummage through my personal papers, and break in the liquor cabinet, didja?

windoze · May 26, 2005

When i rebuy the lens, after you resell the lens that you bought from me after you sold it to me in the 1st place... then i start drinking...

I don't think so andy would spend all the profits.
