    Default Price of Canon 600 IS lens

    We are considering selling my late brother's Canon 600mm f/4 IS lens. It is in excellent condition and comes with the transport case. What would be a realistic asking price for it? I have seen prices ranging from R40,000 to R80,000.

    Had a quick look in the classifieds and they all seem to be going for between 40K-45K

    I'd say between R50K-R55K if the condition is excellent (paintwork 100%, lenshood 100% and case 100%)
    At R40K you will have a queue of buyers!

    If the lens is in excellent condition, it could fetch anything between R 55 000 and R 65 000....seeing that the new MKii version will cost R 120 000 or more.

    ODP was advertising a second hand 600mm F4L IS at R 59 000 in the last 2 weeks or so....

    I note that two 500 f4's have fetched R55 000 in the last week or so, so a 600 should be better than that.

    That seems to be for the non-IS version....
