Used EF 600mm f/4L IS

fotoboy · 21st March 2006

I am tempting to buy a used 600mm f/4L IS (about 4 years) in pretty good condition (clear glass and minimum scratches). New lens at B&H is around US$7K, add in freight and GST , it is about S$12.5K. How much will you pay for a 4-5 years old 600mm f/4L IS lens?

Thanks.

Probably no more than 10K. Otherwise, might as well get a new one.

Benny, Thanks. I think it should be at least 15% off the current new price.

Joe, thanks. I know yours has local warranty. Since I never had any problem with Canon lens before, I plan to take a risk and get a 2nd hand lens or brand new from B&H, save my a few thousands.
