FS: Canon L Lenses: 200MM f2.8L, 17-40 f4.0L

[steve]

$500 EF 200MM f2.8L. This is not the "II". This lens is about 20 years old, and has served me faithfully.

$650 EF 17-40MM f4.0L USM. Bought in 2009.

Why? I bought a 70-200 f2.8L II and I promised my wife I'd sell these to help pay for it.

Both lenses have been taken care of and are in great condition. The 200 has minor cosmetic nicks that you'd expect over 20 years of use, but nothing even close to serious. The 17-40 is near-mint.

If there's interest I'll post photos to assist in making decision.
