This lens was recently serviced by Canon Professional Services in Jamesburg, NJ. I have used this lens for indoor tennis, basketball, hockey and concerts (oh, it's so good for concerts) and the f/1.8 aperture is a life saver when the action is fast and the light is low. If you have been watching olympics gymnastics you have probably noticed this is the lens of choice. At ISO 1600 and f/1.8 freezing a gymnast in mid-air is possible. With other lenses your photos won't be as sharp, even at f/2.8. Bottom line is that showing up with one of these lenses on the sidelines of a sporting event will make everyone around you drool and become jealous. The optics of this leans are perfect. No dust or scratches are evident on any of the optics. The body of the lens shows normal wear and tear, however, all the buttons work like a charm and the lens collar still rotates like butter. There are a few screws missing on the lens shade which can be clearly seen in one of the photos below, however, this is inconsequential and has no impact whatsoever on performance. The auction includes the lens, strap, shade, cover and case. The serial number of the lens is 15659. Inevitably, someone is going to ask why I am selling this lens. So let me preempt the question by telling you that I am in the market for a Subal underwater housing and for as much as I love this lens, my dollars are better allocated putting the money toward that purchase. My heart may be heavy the next time I need this lens and no longer own it, but as they say, C'est La Vie! I am a professional photographer and have taken exceptional care of this lens.
