If anyone's interested MPB have got one in for £3399 in close to mint cond. Given the latest prices (over £7000 now on Warehouse) I'd say it's a steal.

It's a Canon mount so unlucky Steve.

The advert was mine, it should have read £3100, as someone guessed I got plenty of calls (well over 200 I think !) it should also have only been in the ads a week, still getting calls today.At least it shows people read the ads.If only I had known about the 30/40 % price increase ! Hindsight !!!!

Hey Paul if the Ebay buyer changes his mind I'll give you the £100 for it LoL
I already have one and still coming to terms with the size of it! still its better than the 500mm ef i sold to my father in law (the zooms much more useful than the fixed range)

looks like I missed out on a nice buy, sorry if I didn't make a reasonable offer.
