gabriel_gerena Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 <p>Hi!<br> I have been trying to get a 80-200 F4L not from ebay coming from Japan with fungus lol<br> Beside FMiranda forums, where else do you guys look for stuff.<br />KEH does not have any right now.<br />Thanks!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmind Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 <p>Besides KEH, both Adorama and B&H have used equipment departments. However, it doesn't like either of them have the lens you're looking for right now.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven_endo Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 <p>There is a seller on ebay, gokevincameras, that sells a lot of Canon equipment. You might contact him to see if he has any in stock but not on ebay. But he is kind of pricey which is why I never bought anything from him even though his shop is somewhere in the L.A. area.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_s Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 <p>If it were me, I'd just save a search on ebay and configure it to email me whenever a new one shows up. If you're patient, you'll get a good one at a fair price, and possibly from a legit dealer if that's important to you. You might have to blow another hundred or so bucks on a CLA.</p> <p>Cast your net wide. There's always a few out there, but I don't know that you can count on them being in the hands of any individual sellers. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_roberts10 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 <p>Ditto to what Dave S said. eBay gives you the best choice of lenses and there's 80-200 f/4L's all over the place. If you want one, that's the place to go. Don't go to gokevincameras though unless you want to pay twice what anyone else will charge.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill C1664885404 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 <p>And something else to consider...at least it's my approach with expensive items on EBay:<br> 1) If an EBay seller states "No Returns" I keep looking;<br> 2) I also send them a list of specific lens questions using EBay's messaging system and if I can't get satisfactory answers in writing through EBay so its a matter of record, I keep looking;</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabriel_gerena Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 <p>Thanks for the recommendations guys. I will be patient and keep checking those.<br />BTW I did check out gokevincamera and OMG...as you said...insane prices lol<br> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_sampayan Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 <p>Not sure where you're located, but there's one being offered here on SF/BayArea craigslist:<br> http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/pho/4546325528.html<br> I'm so tempted myself, even as I don't have a budget for one at the moment.<br> Good luck in your search!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill C1664885404 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 <p>At that price, in that condition, I'd give up double whoppers & fries or something for a year to pay for it rather than miss it, LOL</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
