Wildlife Photography across the Water: For Sale - Canon 300 f2.8 IS L Super Prime Lens

For Sale - Canon 300 f2.8 IS L Super Prime Lens

I have finally made up my mind to sell my 300f2.8 IS L lens. It is the mark 1 version, not the latest and very very expensive mark2.

The lens is a stunning piece of kit.

Unbelievably sharp, great IQ - contrast, colour etc, and ridiculously fast to focus.

There is a picture of it here, complete with neoprene lens protection. This has meant that it is in pristine condition, and has had very little use, and never in cruddy weather

It will be available with all standard accessories, include the fancy big make up case in comes in, lens hood and cover, manual and the extra lens coat.

I recently saw a really ratty tatty version go for just over £2700 on eBay, so I am looking for offers higher than £3K. Yes, it is a lot, but it is a lot of lens, they are rare-ish beasties, and not easy to get hold of from Canon, in any form.

So if you are interested, and I mean seriously interested, please contact me, with your contact details via the comments. We will NOT publish so don't worry about that.

It will go on eBay, probably this weekend, but I wanted to give our loyal and discerning readers first shout. Only UK delivery - sorry to non UK-ers.

If you want to know more, or see pictures either from it, although that wont tell you much, or of it in detail, please contact me

Bio's

David Courtenay, a self taught wildlife and nature photographer, has been capturing images for over 30 years. He has had a passion for wildlife since early childhood and remembers being glued to the television whenever Survival, Wildlife on One and other natural history documentaries were shown. In the 2006 he swapped his established career for the life of a wildlife photographer, such a move demands a measure of uncompromising passion and commitment.

David has travelled extensively throughout Europe as well as spending more than 7 months in India working with local guides and trackers in search of Bengal Tiger, Asian One horned Rhino and Asian Elephant. He has also photographed Wildlife in Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Sumatra, Africa, Canada and America. Working closely with Conservation companies he tries to raise funds to help Wildlife that has been put on the endangered list by poaching and habitation loss

Martin Dyer has had a passion for avian wildlife since childhood, particularly raptors. Photography was also another keen interest and it was with the specific availability and control of the whole process that digital offers that Martin was then able to combine the two in 2003. Based in the UK, Martin is a regular visitor to Scotland, specifically the Isle of Mull to watch the Eagles resident there. Other trips to Europe and around the UK are usually part of Martin’s agenda in a typical year.

However, as a firm believer on making the most of the local patch, Martin has spent a lot of time and hard work creating a wildlife garden which is reaping the rewards with many new species and varieties of wildlife. A keen member of a number of wildlife photographic groups, Martin is keen to expand his portfolio into other areas of wildlife, and has already established a wide portfolio of images of fungi.
