I am located in the UK and I have used MPB to buy and to sell several items in the past. Never had a problem with them. I’d give them 5 stars myself.

THANK YOU - I'M sure enjoying it - and thanks for watching

Glad you finally got it!!

I have used MPB a number of times with no problems at all. Sorry to hear about the problems you had. They seem to me to be good people to deal with and as you said, the condition of excellent is almost like new condition in all my dealing too.

Yeah it's weird that there was shipping issues on both orders - maybe an employee or shortage of them is the issue, I'm happy with the item for sure. Thanks for your input.

What a gorgeous lens. Congrats, Brother - hope you get the pics you're after!

No better feeling than getting a new lens!! Congratulations! And I agree, FedEx is always on point with their scanning

that's the true - I've been really happy with the images out of this so far - Thank You for watching.

That was a great price for that lens. You can check when your lens was manufactured, the year and month, using the serial number. I did that with my prime F4 even though I bought it new from a camera store. Just wanted to know how long it had been sitting on that shelf in the store 😅 Anyways. Whenever I buy something, I usually want it yesterday and the waiting for a tracking number is quite frustrating, particularly when it's in stock and I order before the daily deadline for stuff to be shipped out. Have fun with that 600F4 and please don't stop it down, ever. Use it wide open on F4 😊

true it was a great price - I absolutely love this lens - I'd say 95% of the time I use a 1.4 converter with it and shoot wide open @ F5.6 @ 840mm - thanks for your thoughts and watching - much appreciated.

$6300.00 is a steal! I have one and bought it new when it first came out and wouldn’t upgrade to the version 3 as it had issues and a little less sharp. I personally talked with a few people who complained that they could not get tack sharp images with the 1.4 on the V 3. I never had that problem on my V 2 with either TC. So Enjoy, your going to Love it! 😉

I've been incredibly happy with this lens - although I be;ieve it has focus issues sometimes - where I have to manually focus it ? - the image quality is insane as well even with my 1.4 tele v3 on it - THANKS FOR WATCHING

@@TheWildlifeGallery388 yes it can hunt sometimes which I feel is due to not enough contrast like when a bird blends into the background. I usually have to pump the autofocus button or use single point focus to acquire focus. Also try setting the focus preset to a distance close to your subject and press it if it hunts to get back into the vicinity to re-acquire focus. Have fun!

I bought a EF 600 f4 lll adapted it to my R5. I have since had a chance to test the RF 600 F4. I think Canon just took a EF version lll and permanently attached the adapter. Basically the two lenses are same weight and I could see no difference in performance.

Sorry about your troubles with MPB, I will just say I've used them 9 times and never one problem. That being said great lens and have a blast with it.

Man, you've got more patients than steel itself! I know that If I was ever to invest in such an expensive glass - be it new or second hand, I'd be putting my trust in Amazon rather than some back road weekend run outfit.

I totally understand your pain & frustration about going through so much additional, unnecessary drama. Unfortunately, I had an identical problem with Adorama, when I ordered my 300mm 1:2.8 L. I was mentally drained by the time it arrived to my doorstep. Enjoy your new lens. Please, let me know if it is well worth it for me to upgrade to your lens. I also shoot birds, also sports. Enjoy your new rig!

JP Thanks so much for watching - While it seems like we both had similar experiences, I can tell you that the purchase is/was so worth it - I would recommend this lens to anyone. - Have fun and be safe out there

I’ve used MPB 5 or 6 times. Most times it’s great. Once they received my package and only half my gear was checked in. After a month of arguments and such finally they processed an insurance claim for my quoted price. Sucked that one time but most of the time, minus slow shipping , they work great

Looks like it is an EF mount, as I see a converter and an extender on it. Is it a EF mount?

I know the feeling, I bought my 600mm off of a Facebook friend, I paid a little more than you did because mine is the Canon 600mm f/4 version 3. I had it shipped to the local FedEx store so a porch pirate could not steal it. But naturally it was raining the day I got it, so I had it set up in the living room with the front door open and I am shooting birds on top of the mailbox across the street.

@@TheWildlifeGallery388Today I contacted again and they tell me that there is a thunderstorm in Memphis and that is why I have not received the lens.

That doesn't sound like a very good endorsement for mpb camera gear sales. Almost all of the gear I order from multiple different sources is in the mail by the next day or it arrives at or before the promised arrival date. It's great that you got a lens in like new condition but that's not due to MPB, the bad service is their fault though.
