So I'm trying to find a used 200mm f2,

Found one in London Camera Exchange (The Strand, London) and MPB Photographic - both at £3500, but I don't want to pay this much when I've seen it for sale privately for less than £3000 - my Wife would appreciate it.

Any suggestions on good places for me to look?

I've been looking at TP, AVF, Ebay, Wex, Clifton, FredMiranda, dpreview
 
I think its just one of those lens that don't come up that often s/h FB has a s/h page,MBP does tend to have very good s/h prices,i think its just a matter of hanging on till you find one at the right price :)

Another place to keep looking is Ffordes

Thanks, what's the s/h FB ? thing
 
Very, very hard to say what is a reasonable price. There are very few of them available on the used market so there's no well-established "going rate". For the same reason there are no particularly good places to look for them.
 
When you said Holy Grain, immediately I thought the 200mm/1.8.

Thought the 2.0 is much easier to get since it is in production ?
