Make things look nearer

[ThatPhilBrettGuy]

I though I'd give you guys a look in before I get myself involved with the classifieds here and eBay etc

My as new 100-400IS is looking for a good home. It really is as new, boxed with case and hood etc and a Hoya clear filter fitted to protect the front since new. I'm looking for just under £800. If you're in the London area during the week, I'm happy to bring it in for people to look at.

e-mail for any questions and a bit of haggling if you like.

Option 1: Squint.
Option 2: Walk closer.
Option 3: Get the object to move closer

That just makes things darker, not nearer.

Walk? With the weight of all my camera kit? You're kidding!

"Thunderbirds" and "Empire State Building" spring to mind....always ends in disaster.

ARGHHHHHHH!
Iv'e just stood in my kitchen thinking "i'll offer him £750!" and then going through the list of things i could sell to finance it.
But i won't, much as i would love this lens i think there a 1001 other things that come first on my list of realistic priorites
Thank goodness you don't take visa!
Please say you don't!
Just kidding.
What a great offer! I hope it's one of us that buys it so we can all see the fruits.

No such lens as an f2.8 100-400L IS...it's 4.5-5.6.

I'm tempted to say something along the lines of 'this thread is useless with pictures', but the gentlemen side of me thinks I'd better not.

Oh hang on..to late

Wish I had the money . .

Cor, but if there was eh? I'd probably be about 5KG though.

To let people know we have an agreed deal and a reserve. The nice people involved have e-mails, and all being well I hope to be seeing some nice pics from a fellow PHer in the coming weeks.

[bilko2]

corr that didn't take long.
At least it's a PHer and less hassle than ebay.
Erm, About that 2.8 thing, i think i was thinking of the 70-200 ...Honest!

[dcw@pr]

good luck to the contestants. I was mighty tempted for a while.
