• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

I know this is not a chase type lens, but for the photogs on here, wanted to give you a chance at purchasing a pristine Canon 85 f/1.8. I have this listed here and on a photography forum I am on. I'm selling because I've found that it's just to long for what I intend to use it for. It's a shame really, because I've found this to be a wonderfully sharp lens. I think I've covered all the bases below in terms of questions I would ask, but if you have other questions, or interest, please feel free to PM me. So here are the details....

Lens Model: Canon EF 85mm 1.8 & the optional Canon ET-65III Hood

Lens Date Code if applicable: n/a - I am the second owner of this lens. I believe the original purchase date was approx 2yrs ago.

Lens Body Condition: 10/10 - no marks, no nicks, no scratches, used/stored in non-smoking environment by me and prior owner. It would be difficult to tell it apart from a new one. The lens hood has very minor (typical) rub marks on the outside, but you'd have to hold it against a light to see them.

Lens Glass Condition: 10/10 - Sharp copy of this lens with no focus issues on my XSi. Sample image at bottom of listing, and unedited RAW (or converted to jpg) images available for pixel peeping can be e-mailed upon request. Lens is free of dust, fungus, scratches, etc

Sale Includes: Canon EF 85 1.8 lens with front/rear caps, original box & packing material, blank warranty card, manual - essentially everything you'd get with a new one. Also includes the optional Canon ET-65III Hood with original box.

Price: $360(net) via verified paypal gift payment. If you are more comfortable going regular paypal, add 3%. Price includes shipping.

Payments Accepted: Verified Paypal or cash for local pickup.

Shipping Methods Available (Ships From): Ships from Denver CO via insured USPS.

Shipping Available To: Continental US only. Sorry, no shipping outside of US.

Item location: Denver CO
