Boston surprisingly has just two camera stores, Hunts and Bromfield Camera. I walked into Bromfield the other day and started chatting with the owners (been there 47 years). He had just taken in a 1D classic and some lenses that some local prof had bought with grant money and barely used. The 1D had just 1300 shots on it. The lenses, 70-200 f2.8 IS v1, 16-35 f2.8 v1, and 100-400, were all pristine. It looked like they had never been mounted. I traded in my 70-300L and got the 70-200 f2.8 IS for $600. I probably could have sold my 70-300 for a bit more than he offered, but this way there was no risk and no hassle with shipping, and we were just $100 off.
Can't wait to get out shooting with it.
