I really need a 70-200 f2.8 or f4

I haz no money. I am in college.

Any Oppos done with theirs or want to give me one or a similar lens or Pro-camera for freeeeeee?

It's probably impossible but I'll ask anyway.

I just got a 70-200 f2.8 supersonic II and it's totally worth the crazy prices. It's the sharpest lens I've ever owned and it impresses me every time I use it. It's worth it. Buy yours from a sketchy Russian dude at the docks and save $1,000 like I did haha

Perhaps out of your price range, but I'm selling my 70-200 f/4L, along with my 5D and 17-40 f/4L. 70-200 is $500. I would love to give it to you, but, ya know.

I have a Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 that needs repairs. I don't have the $300 required to fix it and you can probably find a new one for $800. ETA: Actually it looks like they're running close to $1,200 now for new Sigmas. Pretty sure I paid $800 for mine several years ago. Had to fix it once before. The second time I decided to just buy a Canon. Sold it earlier this year to contribute my wedding fund. Still ended up in a crippling amount of debt.
