Decent used Price on the 28-70 2.8??

There was one on the Fred Miranda Forum for $1099. I was tempted

 

Jonathan, there are 3 used ones available from KEH.com. 2 are rated Bargains @ $919 and one Excellent Plus @ $1219. New, they sell it for $1419. I've bought from them before and they're conservative with their ratings.

Also check sportsshooter.com, I've seen them go for as little as $800 there (although I'd be skeptical about buying from a true working pro - their equipment may take some serious punishment).

 

I bought a new one from KEH for 1419 , it came Monday, and will get a $100 rebate. Keep the $1319 price in mind when you are ready to pay artound $1050- $1200 or more for a used one! :shock:

 

Just bought my own "beast" on ebay last week. This lens is in mint condition with the case and I paid $1,006 plus $20 shipping. I looked on ebay for three months before bidding on this one. They are out there if you are patient.

Welcome me to the "Beast" club Just bought one from the FM Forum.

 

Congrats, John! I think I faintly hear it calling my name, too, but I'm trying hard to resist. For now!

 

Thanks Kevin. I hope I'm done for a while now. I now have the 10.5, 12-24, 28-70 and 70-200. Next year, I hope to pick up the 200-400VR, and I'll have as much range as I need. I've spent so much on gear this year, it's not even funny . . . :? Oh yes, and there's still the 85 mm f/1.4 . . . :shock:
