From canon.com:
A new and affordable L-series ultra-wide-angle zoom lens that's ideal for both film and digital SLRs. Superior optics are assured by the use of three Aspherical lens elements, in addition to a Super UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) glass element. Optical coatings are optimized for use with digital cameras. This lens focuses as close as 11 inches (0.28m), and offers both Canon's full-time manual focus and a powerful ring-type USM for fast and silent AF. It has a constant f/4 maximum aperture, and offers the choice of screw-in 77mm filters or a holder in the rear of the lens for up to three gel filters. Finally, it offers weather-resistant construction similar to other high-end L-series lenses.bhphoto.com price (after rebate): $655 USD

Your price (no rebate required): $550 USD, shipping to US locations included.

Oh..right. Sorry, I missed this.

The lens is about one year old and in excellent condition. Probably only shot 200-300 frames with it. Upon request by PM, I went looking for the docs and could not find them, so it will be sold without manual and warranty card.

did i miss this in another thread... fish, why you sellin'? you find yourself wanting the f/2.8 16-35?

[luckyrwe]

From the reviews I see, the 17-35 is better on the short end than the 16-35, and since I have a 24-70 I don't really need the long end.

[fish]

Windoze, it's still for sale. Good luck in vegas.

I'm selling it to get something a bit wider and a bit faster. Plus I don't need the 24-40 part of it (got a 24-70/2.8L).

Fish, that lens is driving me nuts. I wish the FM reviews were a bit better. Seems about 50/50. I want a wide lens, too. A good one, but I don't want it hunting around for focus. I would like it wider, but this would do I am sure.

How slow are you finding it?

I read those reviews before I bought the lens. I haven't found any issues with the AF at all. In fact, it's pretty durn fast, since the elements don't really have to move very far. You want hunt? Use a 70-200/f4 in the shade :rofl

How does it shoot at 17 mm, seems that was brought up, too? Sorry for all these questions, but I really am interested.

ginger

I found a bird, going to see if my crummy 75-300 got anything, my new camera is fast on the draw.

Will report later on that.

[fish]

que? it shoots fine at 17. of course, you have to watch where your toes are so they don't get in the frame. :rofl

[Andy]

just visit mahesh thapa's galleries (http://www.starvingphotographer.com), most of his best landscapes are with this very lens.

'nuff said.

this is a steal folks. ginger, and anyone - stop reading reviews, and look at serious photographer's work with a lens!

fish, i expect the usual and customary commission :deal

[fish]

[fish]
