Canon EF L IS USM 500 f/4 for sale

My lovely neighbour is now in his 70s and has given up sitting in hides for hours on end to get that one good wildlife shot.

As a result he has decided to sell his immaculate 500mm f/4 telephoto lens. It is in mint condition and comes not only with it's own carry case, but also with a heavy duty tripod to support it. Shipping would be extra depending on where it is sent.

Price €4000, currently around £3600. It cost him twice that so I don't think he would want to haggle, especially not with the tripod being part of the package.

So, it's a lot of money, but it is a bargain for what it is.

Please message me if you are interested, or if you know of anyone else who might be.

The theory seems to be that as long as a man is a failure he is one of God's children, but that as soon as he succeeds he is taken over by the Devil. H.L Mencken.

No good for me as it won't fit a Nikon.  :P

At that price it's a bargain.  :tup:

Indeed Oldboy it's a very good price, especially as it is absolutely mint. He's the kind of guy who has a spreadsheet for the service intervals on his lawnmower :)

I'd love it - but the wife would kill me I think!

Also make a lovely 1000mm f8 with a 2x converter on - my 300mm with a 2x is fabulous.

Just looked at WEX - the Mk2 is over £9k - so indeed a bargain even if it is the mk1 - which I assume it is.

I'll check, but I do think it is a Mk1.

Don't suppose you know anyone elsse who might be interested? Your wife perhaps? Would make a wonderful anniversary or birthday present, and then you could borrow it . .   :legit:
