Absolutely perfect. Super sharp.
Bought 3 years ago off one of the moderators on POTN. I have touched this lens once in the past 18 months so it needs a new home. Its not cheap (this isn't a distress sale), so here are a few sweeteners:
-You can try-before-you-buy. If you are in South Gippsland I'll bring it over and you can test-fire it. Further away - we can meet somewhere in between
-I'll give you the same written warranty that Canon does. If it fails due to electronic or mechaninical fault I'll pick up the repair tab.
-You have a 3 day cooling-off period. If you change your mind, you can have your money back.

A new one is roughly $12,000 depending on exchange rates.
You CAN get them off e-bay for as low as $6500, but they come from Hong Kong or Taiwan so you would still have to pay postage, import duty and GST which would bump the price up to about $7500 plus you'd have no idea whether you were getting a dudd.

My price is $7000. Includes carrying case, original box, and a mounting plate for a Kirk head.
I'm open to reasonable serious offers, but no low-balls.
I'm new here but you can check me out on fredmiranda.com as daguerre999.
Thanks for looking and please feel free to ask any questions.
