The sale includes a LensCoat, the rear lens cap, the front lens cover, the lens trunk, the monopod mount, and both the lens and lens trunk straps, the lens manual and warranty card\u2013the latter included for record-keeping purposes only since the warranty is expired, and insured ground shipping via either FEDEX or UPS to US addresses only.<\/p>\n<p>The lens just underwent an 11-point clean and check service from Canon Professional Services.  <\/p>\n<p>The lens will not ship until your check clears unless other arrangements are made. Please contact Mark via <a href=\"mailto:mark@pigeonpoint.com\">e-mail<\/a><\/center> or by phone at 831-438-1565 (Pacific time). <\/p>\n<p><em>As y&#8217;all know, the 600 II has been my go-to long lens since its introduction several years ago. Recently, as a concession to age, I have been using the 500 II as my big lens. It is that much lighter and offers that much more reach. If you are young and strong and photograph birds that are on the skittish side, the 600 mm f\/4L IS lens just might be perfect for you as it was for me for so many years&#8230;.  It is relatively lightweight and super-sharp. It goes great with the 1.4X III TC and with a bit of practice and good sharpness techniques, you should be able to make sharp images with the 2X III TC down to 1\/60 sec. As a new one goes for $11,499 you can save a nice $2005 by grabbing Mark&#8217;s lens right now.<\/em> artie<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.birdsasart-blog.com\/baa\/wp-content\/gallery\/general\/reddish-egret-iso-5000-_28a2296-fort-desoto-county-park-fl.jpg\" class='shutterset'><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-center\" src=\"https:\/\/www.birdsasart-blog.com\/baa\/wp-content\/gallery\/general\/reddish-egret-iso-5000-_28a2296-fort-desoto-county-park-fl.jpg\" alt=\"reddish-egret-iso-5000-_28a2296-fort-desoto-county-park-fl\" title=\"reddish-egret-iso-5000-_28a2296-fort-desoto-county-park-fl\" width=490 \/><\/a>  <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>This image was created at Fort DeSoto at 7:08am on my September 25, 2016 scouting trip with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outdoorphotogear.com\/search.php?search_query=indurogrand&#038;rfsn=132487.5cf37.9906\">Induro<\/a> GIT 304L\/<a href=\"http:\/\/birdsasart-shop.com\/mongoose-action-head\/\">Mongoose M3.6<\/a>-mounted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/973129-REG\/canon_5176b002_ef_200_400mm_f_4l_is.html\/BI\/6633\/KBID\/7226\/kw\/CA2004004IS\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xCA2004004IS\" target=\"_blank\">Canon EF 200-400mm f\/4L IS USM lens with Internal 1.4x Extender<\/a> (with the internal TC engaged at 560mm) with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1274705-REG\/canon_eos_5d_mark_iv.html\/BI\/6633\/KBID\/7226\/kw\/CAE5D4\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xCAE5D4\" target=\"_blank\">Canon EOS 5D Mark IV.<\/a> ISO 5000.
