I am selling my Canon 70-200mm f/4L. I bought this lens new from B & H for $585 about a month ago. The lens itself is in mint condition. There are two tiny scratches on the lens hood. I can send pictures if you're interested. Price is $500. I am selling this to help fund my f2.8 IS version...ouch.

If you could post up some pics of the scratches and lens itself that would be great. Thanks.

Just wondering why everyone wants to pics of scratches on the lens hood?
Lens hoods scratch easy even rubbing against things in a bag or laying it down.

Oh btw-- good luck selling the lens, No-one wanted mine :(

But its not for sale anymore, I am keeping it..

This is a great lens. I have it plus the 70-200 2.8L IS lens. When I upgraded, it was too good of a lens to sell, so I kept it and my wife uses it on the 10D she got from me when I upgraded to the 1DMKII. The advantages of the 4.0L lens is that it's lighter, smaller and even though not as fast a lens, is still a very sharp and crisp lens. Some people say it is even sharper than the 70-200 2.8L and 70-200 2.8L IS lenses.

Adrin, if nobody on here is interested in it, I'm sure there are people on some of the other forums that might be. I know on some forums it's a very popular lens.

That hood looks new to me ;)

For me a scratch or two on the hood is good, it shows you use the lens ;) I have a few camera bags but my favourite (by far) is my 20 year old Billingham, its old, worn and has a ripped shoulder strap, it looks and feels much better than a brand new one ;)

ya those two scuffs where from the buckles on my camera bag.
