For Sale Canon 100mm 2.8 Macro USM

Matblack · 10-12-2010, 22:26

OK this is going to be offered for sale here first and if no one is interested it will go on Ebay. These are selling on Ebay with the accessories I have for upwards of £310 + P&P but if any of you guys want it I will let it go for £300inc which is what I bought it for.

The lens includes the genuine Canon hood which isn't included when you buy new and a Kenko filter which according to the original owner was fitted from new.

This is the non L, USM version, there are quite a few non USM ones floating about and they focus a lot slower than this one.

Here is a link to the original thread

I've used the lens about 3 times since I bought it and it's going because as much as I like sharp primes I haven't taken to macro photography and I'd rather like a 10-22mm or a 5D instead. Also my FIL has the L version which I could borrow if I needed to do some macro work

Yeah, sorry about that, at least it isn't the 17-55mm f2.8 IS or the 24-105 f4 IS both at twice the price

I might let the 50mm f1.8 go though, that would be a lot cheaper

Can't say I blame you, either.

Kitten · 13-12-2010, 19:31

Just keep it until I can afford it

(i.e. not Christmas!)

I haven't had the time to do any macro stuff at all, I'll try again over the spring if I get the chance but I've being doing more portrait and landscape stuff recently (understandably)
