FOR SALE: 150-600 canon zoom lens with PL adapter, case and filters

[Neal Williams]

SOLD. I have a nice Canon FD 150-600mm f5.6 L zoom lens with a universal mount adaption by Optex and a PL mount. Price $6950. I am the original owner and I would like to sell the lens, case and filters. The zoom and focus work smoothly, and there are no lens scratches or fugus that I can detect. It weighs about 9.5 pounds, and it is much easier to carry than the powered zoom conversion versions. I also have a very compact lens support mount that allows you to shoot without putting a base and rails on the camera. The lens has been serviced once by Canon LA, and only used a few times since the servicing. There are minor paint scratches and a .12" diameter hole drilled in the len shade cover, and a circumferential scratch on the front barrel as you can see in the photo. There are more photos here. Includes factory case, and ND filter set. It can be used with DSLR, Alexa, Red, and Sony PL or B4 mount cameras. Adapters are also available for Nikon F. I have found the zoom to be indispensible for field shooting because it allows for a wide, medium, and close-up shot with only one setup. This is essential for editing a shot of a stationary subject.This is a parafocal zoom lens, so the focus can vary slightly during a zoom. With practice you can compensate for it. This is an internal focus lens, so none of the external components move during zoom or focus.
The lens conversions that have added a zoom motor in new housings weigh twice as much, and require heavier lens supports. Many also require that the lens be removed from the camera to change the nuetral density filters. I have found the lighter version to be much more convenient.
