That's negotiable. As is the price for the lens itself. Still available. A 600mm IS 4.0 with a 2x extender and/or a 800mm 5.6 IS might be preferable alternatives. Thank the European Union for the discontinuation of this lens. Not enough demand to make Canon convert to lead-free glass. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROHS No mention of the tripod, which should be included.
