Selling my barely used Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens
OK, I am putting this up for sale because in the 4 years that I have had it, I have used it 4-5 times. No lie. It is in pristine condition, I have the box, a Hoya UV filter on it. It comes with a case LZ1324 and a ring mount for tripod use, and a lens hood ET-86

PM me off list if you have an interest. I will be listing it on eBay this week.

1. I can't believe you haven't used that lens much.
It's one of my favorites. I shot almost all my Iditarod photos with it. Is it the weight that puts you off?

3. No, I just found myself using the other Canon macro zoom that I bought
around the same time. The big mother has literally just sat in my office credenza for years, and I finally decided to sell it. Let someone else enjoy its wonders. :-D

4. Yeah, I guess it all depends on what sort of things you're shooting
For my purposes, the 70-200 rocks, but I don't do that much macro stuff. I do have the 100 mm macro that I use now and again, but not nearly as often as the 70-200. I hope you find a buyer for it soon. You should be able to get a fair amount of money for it since you haven't used it much.

5. I'm counting on that since it's been in the case
and used all of about 5-6 times since I bought it. :D

Honestly, I've been so busy just dealing with life lately, I have hardly picked up my 20D in over a year. I recently purchased a new Sony Cybershot, 14.4 megapixels. Sold my old one on eBay and upgraded to the latest model for about $40. LOL.

2. Oh, I so wish I could afford to buy it.
I have a 70-200mm f/4 and it rarely leaves my camera. My favorite lens ever. I'd love the f/ 2.8 but alas ...
