I bought it used from KEH at the end of 2015 and used it very little. Finally, I realized that I would rather sell it and see if I could get something I'd use more. This lens does NOT have IS. It is a lovely lens, sharp, with obviously a small DoF.
$575 for the lens and caps in the soft pouch it came in; I do not have the hood. You pay shipping from SW Montana.

Good for you. This is one of Canon's best kept secrets. I use mine as a "walk around" lens in the gardens. The results it creates are very nice photographs, clear and sharp, with great color. The lens is so small IS is a waste of time and money. You will make someone very appreciative.
I'm interested on the lens if it has not been sold, yet. Please let me know and we can come to an agreement.
I will not be able to answer until 6:30 PM tomorrow.
Thank You

It hasn't been sold yet and I welcome inquiries.
David, I can see that you have taken good care of your equipment, I too take good care of mine, but the len is a 7 year old and it does not have IS I searched on the web and the price you are asking for is for a much newer model and with Image Stabilizer therefore I'd make an offer for $450, paid thru paypal. What say you
Thank You
Hi, my name is Ranga, not David. Further, as far as I know, there is no newer version of this lens. I made it clear that the lens does not have IS in the original post. My price is below what resellers charge for the same lens. I cannot possibly sell it for $450 and I wish you a very good day.

My apologies for misrepresenting your name, Ranga, I have no idea where I got that from.
If you change your mind, you'd know where to contact me.
Thank You,
Fernando
If you can see your way to 595, I'll clear 575 after shipping. If you agree to that sum, I can put the lens in the mail or FedEx the same day or the day after I receive notification that payment has posted to my PayPal account. Whatever you decide, thank you for your interest and have a good weekend.

No relation to OP but FWIW I have this lens and it is one of my absolute favorites! The low light capability with this lens is amazing.
