Atherton & District Amateur Photographic Society

Hi Folks,

I have a couple of lenses for sale if anyone is interested before I resort to Gumtree or E-Bay.

A Canon 75/300 mm F4-5.6 Mk 3 USM lens boxed and in excellent+ condition for which I'm asking £80.

Also an 18-55mm NON IS lens in very good condition which I'm hoping to sell for say £25 ono.

Will bring to the club for inspection if you are interested.



Cheers

Michael

Mike, you don't have a collar for that 75 - 300. I have a 70 - 300 but want to get a collar for it.

Glenys

Hi Glenys

Sorry no collar. It doesn't come with one - I assume that as it is so light it doesn't need one.
Are you talking about the 70-300mm L lens. If so they do one on Amazon by JYC for around a tenner .

Michael

Thanks for the reply. Yes the L lens. I got it a couple of months ago, it is a used one. I will look on Amazon.

Hi,
I am a newbie to photography and I am thinking of coming along to the club.

I have been offered a Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM Lens for £200

Does the IS bit make it worth so much more than the one you are selling?

I have got a Canon 60D - is this lens compatible with this camera? See............newbie

Cheers

Terry

Hi Terry

To tell the truth the 70-300mm IS lens that you have been offered is superior to the lens that I'm selling. New, it costs over £300
so that seems to be a good price subject to condition of course . Either that one or mine will fit your camera. The IS enables you
to hand hold the camera at lower speeds and still get a good image, again, subject to conditions of course.
You will be most welcome at the club and I would encourage to come along this Thursday to see what we offer our members. I can
bring along my lens for you to look at (no obligation) to give you an idea of the 70-300mm range and if you would like that please make sure
that you bring your camera with you.
Hopefully will see you on Thursday.

Michael

P.S. I sit near the front on the left hand side, am the little guy with glasses and near white hair so please come and say hello.

Mike is the guy in the white shirt and glasses at 0.27 in our Open Night video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HohlTsClVPg

Cheers guys, I will come along on Thursday (and bring my camera...cheers)

I will probably go for the IS lens - the bloke selling it reckons he has only used it a few times. But if you don't mind, I would like to see the range.

Hopefully this will be the start of an exciting new hobby.
