brapplelikesnapple Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 For sale, a fantastic fast lens bought from new. Takes good sharp pictures even in low light. The wedding photographer's lens of choice and portraits taken with it are gorgeous. The glass is perfect with no scratches. Always used with a UV lens filter. Always carefully stored in protective case. Comes in original packaging with lens covers, lens hood, and case. I will throw in the UV filter. £850 ono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobaman Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Good luck.....at that price you will need it. I've just bought a 1yr old 17-40 in A1 mint condition for £475 cash locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brapplelikesnapple Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Congratulations on a very nice lens Jacobaman. However, bearing in mind your comments on the price I'd better respond. Despite sharing the L badge, there are quite a few differences, not least the speed and low light capabilities of the lenses (f/4 vs f/2.8) A quick look on Amazon reveals that a new Canon 17-40 L on amazon is £604 so you've saved £129. Brand new 24-70mm on Amazon is £1,337. Buyer's saving £487. So I think this represents a fair price. Thanks for your interest anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I concur - used 24-70 L lenses often go for more than the price being asked here - comparing it to a 17-40 doesn't mean anything. Good luck with the sale - if I had the money I would trade from my 24-105 and get the 24-70 instead, but I can't afford to alas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
