Lens is in good shape but well-used. No box or manual, non-original end-cap. $750 shipped and insured, comes with RRS (or Kirk, I forget) A-S QR plate, or $725 w/o plate. Payment by money order or personal check. Will get some pics up later.

    Curious - How much for just the plate? $25?

    I will let the plate go for $750 and toss in the lens for free.

    Thanks for the offer, but I don't need two of the lenses.

    If the buyer does not want the free lens w/ their purchase of the plate, I will happily take the lens.

    Since this lens is selling new on Amazon for $648, would you consider a lesser offer on your "well-used" specimen?

    I highly doubt price policing is allowed but even so, where did you find $648? I just looked on Amazon and I dont see any price going lower than $700 new or used.

    This morning, the price was, in fact $648 on Amazon. No lie. They were down to their last 2 when I googled it and went to the Amazon site to check it out. There was another vendor on the Amazon site as well who had the lens for $639 New but wanted $15 shipping. Toss up, I guess.
    Since I was actually considering making an offer on this lens, I don't think that price checking constitutes "price police". Whatever this lens sells for is what it's worth. I was just saying that if I were to buy it, I'd want a significantly better price than what I could buy if for new. If the seller wasn't offline all day, I could have sent him a message via Yahoo to make an offer. I don't know how else to PM the seller.

    Folks, let's keep a lid on the accusatory/unneccessary banter, please.

    For the record:
    1. Price policing is not allowed, I nip it in the butt whenever I see it. That being said, I don't go around deleting posts left and right.

    2. WW, you are on the right track with PM's. If you are having an issue sending receiving PM's please read this first:

    if you still have issues post here, I'll square you away personally.

    I just looked it up and found it at $827.61 on the U.S. Amazon site. I'd love the lens just have other priorities at this time...

    Bump. Sorry I missed the earlier drama re: pricing. Please feel free to email me, brkriete at the Yahoo place...or send me a PM! Just click on my username and you have the option to "send email" or "send private message". I never remember to subscribe to threads I create but I'm very good about checking email. Lens is currently selling for $800 from B&H, which of course doesn't include shipping or a lovely RRS base plate.
