Description (updated on 27/04/2011 at 04:26pm):

Hi guys. Long story short: Stunning lens that peforms really well in low light and pin sharp. Canon fit.

Reason for sale: i got it as back up for my 18-50 2.8 but i now need a 70-200 2.8 so need to free up funds.

The lens has only been used for light studio work and is in mint condition with hood, front and back caps and case. It is a fine example of Sigmas EX pro line. Suitable for crop sensors and full frame.
The 350d is no longer for sale as i have decided to hold on to it as back up.

Hi. Just seen your in Galway, im leaving for dublin in an hour and will probably leave the lens in sligo as ill be away for a few weeks but collection is possible. I was tryin to sell them as a combo but open to offers. Cheers

Tigger asked a question 27/04/2011 3:23 pm (1 year ago):

when are you back in sligo

joepenguin says 27/04/2011 3:52 pm (1 year ago):

Hi tigger, the lens can be viewed at any time although I am not back myself until mid May.

Tigger asked a question 27/04/2011 4:11 pm (1 year ago):

how much is the lens on its own?

joepenguin says 27/04/2011 4:32 pm (1 year ago):

Just seen the price for lens only changed but not the title so it probably looked a little overpriced. I was looking 550 for both camera and lens but now just taking offers on lens only. For reference the canon fit models typically go for £280 which works out around €315 according to www.xe.com today. So it gives you a reference point to make an offer from, keepin in mind it is boxed in mint condition with case, caps and hood. Cheers :)

joepenguin says 27/04/2011 9:29 pm (1 year ago):

ill see if i can get someone to take a pic of it for me and send it on. Basically look at any stock image on a new model and its gonna be the same. Mint condition.

MojoRising asked a question 28/04/2011 7:00 pm (1 year ago):

offer €200 for the lens

Tigger placed offer 28/04/2011 8:14 pm (1 year ago):

€201 Offered

joepenguin says 28/04/2011 11:49 pm (1 year ago):

Thanks for the offers guys but I'd need the offers to be more in line with the going rate before letting go of this bad boy :)

Tigger asked a question 29/04/2011 12:04 am (1 year ago):

€207?

joepenguin says 29/04/2011 5:34 am (1 year ago):

@Tigger: I cant let it got for that Im afraid. The sigma 24-70 goes for 450, the canon model is about 1,100, even an old second hand canon 28-70 2.8 will set you back 700.
So to get a mint conditon pro level lens for around 300 is a bargain. Im still open to offers in or around that region though :)

Tigger asked a question 29/04/2011 3:37 pm (1 year ago):

ok €270 but i'll have to look at it, i'll be in sligo over the weekend hopefully

joepenguin accepts offer 29/04/2011 5:07 pm (1 year ago):

@Tigger: Offer Accepted.
Offer accepted Tigger. No probs with inspection, you'll be delighted with it. Ill pm you contact details. Cheers :)
