tombartlett Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 <p>I'm living in South Korea at the moment and have found a secondhand 300/2.8 IS for just over 2000 GBP. The same lens new here is a good 1000 pounds more expensive. I've heard that Canon L lens tend to hold their value pretty well so should I expect there to be a reason for the lens to a third less or is that normal for a second hand lens? Also what should I look for to tell if that 1000 pounds has been cut for a reason? Thanks.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_felber1 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 <p>Sounds about right, seen it on ebay for this price. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmind Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 <p>Just for reference, the price at B&H is $4100 US (or £2816) for a <em>new</em> lens.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith reeder Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 <p>Tom, is it <em>definitely</em> an IS version?</p> <p>That price is about OK for the older non-IS lens.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
