FS/FT- Canon 50mm F1.2L

posting this up for my gf, she is selling her 50mm f1.2L to downgrade into a more realistic kit. the lens is less than a year old, hardly used at all and in pretty much brand new condition.

cash price is 1400 firm, includes box/warranty card/lens bag/lens hood/ receipt etc.

looking to trade for anything FF compatible, so NO EF-S lenses pls. not super excited for anything tele right now as she just uses my 70-200 2.8 when the need arises.

mainly after:

17-40L
24-105L
24-70L
50 1.4
etc etc etc

photos/sample shots will come with serious interest, thanx!

^ I know eh? and it's only f/0.6 better than the f/1.8!
j/k, read up the 50mm f/1.2 and you'll know why

Hmmm...I've got a 17-40L and a 50 f1.4 I'd consider trading for that.

better build (the 1.8, as nice as it is, is a toy), and the bokeh/low-light sensitivity is unparalleled. The difference between my 1.4 and my old 1.8 is huge.

I have used this lens before. Fucking amazing. I shot a bunch of photos on the beach at English bay at last year's fireworks.
