Hi All,
This one is tough for me. As far as one can form an emotional attachment to a camera lens I've got one with this lens. It is incredibly sharp and many regard it as the best wide-angle zoom for Canon crop sensor DSLR's - eg. 300D, 350D, 450D, 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D.

I haven't used it for Astro, but it is the only F2.8 wide angle around so it's fast and better still is sharp all the way to F2.8. You can use this baby wide open!
I'm selling to fund my way to a full frame (e.g. 5D mk II) camera.
These are pretty rare in Austalia. Mostly you have to buy on the grey market from Hong Kong and the going price is around the $1000AU mark - which is where this one comes from.
The lens is only 6 months old and in perfect condition. It comes with original box (not shown here) and with lens hood.
I'm asking $725AU postage include (Australia).
Payment must be via Paypal or Direct Bank Deposit - sorry no pickups.
first to PM that they'll take it, gets it.
cheers,
rob
