In other words, you really want this: http://www.photographyreview.com/cat...111crx.aspx#FM But you'd "settle for" this: http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/con...mode lid=7317 It's hard to sympathize with your predicament, but I'll try :-) |

Correct me if i'm wrong but I thought the OP wanted a 2.8 but would
settle for a 4.0? BTW, I'd save like crazy for the current 2.8. I use one for soccer. It's a brilliant lens. 400 2.8 next I think DAH In article 6Zlte.1888$Lr4.661@fed1read03, james wrote: http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/con...categoryid=154 &modelid=7317 |

Non IS preffered but it looks like I can't be too fussy on this one. Thanks try KEH.com I have bought several lenses from them. Always had good experiences, fast shipping, no annoying bait and switch or trying to get you to buy unwanted accessories. Overall very pleased with everything I have gotten from them. they have a few of each in stock even |

A used non-IS will cost nearly as much as a new IS.
I'm not likely to *ever* be in the market for such a thing, but, just for curiosity's sake, is the IS so bad, or is it that the older lens is so much better? |

After I purchased my second-hand 300/4 IS lens for $825, I was able to sell my 300/4 (non-IS) for only $500. -Dave |

The f/2.8 seems to be much more valuable in the marketplace. |

The one source I saw for the 300mm f/2.8 non-IS lens that the OP wants,
rang up in the over $3000 price bracket. WAY too rich for my blood. |
