Chaff 3,414 Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 I'm taking a mate out tomorrow ferreting (pest control) and he is bringing his camera kit consisting of a 40d and one of these lenses Hoping to get some action shots of dogs etc, any idea of the second hand value of the lens might be ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They’re a cracking lens and good combination with the 40d as it’s a crop sensor - beat to look on eBay for what money they selling for. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is it a mk 1 ? Do you think the focal length is enough for birding Andy I was thinking sigma/tamron 150-600 but they have a smaller variable aperture Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great lens and I use it a lot. My 100-400mm mk1 lasted 2 weeks before I sold it as was never happy with results. The MK2 is stunning but short for birds even on a crop camera. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
