In fact, I must be the only person on the planet never to have used it at all.

But, I know it's a great place to get an idea of the true worth of something - so, could someone assist me?

I'm looking at what a Canon 100-300mm USM Lens f4.5 5.6 with Skylight Filter has sold for on average - it is MINT Condition, in fact I would say it hasn't been used. It also comes with a Canon ET-65 II Hood. It even has MACRO on it.

I can see some 'buy it now' prices - but, I understand there is a way to see what things like this actually sold for in the past ... is there?

Can anyone give me an indication of worth? Thanks

sorry psleweis, i'm the same as your good self. i'm hopeless with ebay and anything else technical or demanding. it's all just so confusing, all this interbobyweb nonsense the NACRO lenses on it must be worth a few bob surely

i have an old practika, pm me if you need any help.

HTH.

You have to be a registered user, and then when you do a search, specify that you want to show completed items.

There are a few review sites that might give you an idea of price - it seems to be about $300 new - see for example Canon EF 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM

Also, is it a true macro (i.e. 1:1), or is the macro mode just a shorter minimum focus distance? Might be worth making this clear if you are selling so that you don't get any comeback for mis-describing it.

Reference - the MACRO - I am actually guessing, there is a flower shown on the distance scale ...... need to check carefully or leave that out of the advert?

$300 would mean they are available here for about £200 new? Secondhand, but MINT, about £130? Seem reasonable?

Its NOT a true macro lens - its just a term used to show that it has a close focusing function, and a lot of zoom lenses use the term at the closest focusing distance.

Its not misleading if you say it has a Macro feature, just don't describe it as a Macro lens
