This is the older non-USM version of this lens. I've taken many really great shots with it.
Condition is excellent, but perhaps not mint. Optics are perfect. I have the cloth bag, lens shade, and cap. No box.
I'm considering upgrading to Mark II if I can find a buyer for this lens.
Best offer over $1k.

Yes L. The Mark II lists about $2k and B&H has for $1.8k.
They are all USM.

Absolutely agree. Great pictures all around.
E-mail sent (I forgot to ask for date code).
Also, this lens is marked "Ultrasonic", so it is a USM motor. A little research turned up some facts. The new lens has a faster microprocessor and is supposed to focus faster. It's a fact that this lens (mark I) doesn't focus very fast. I don't know what it is that makes autofocus for this particular focal length / aperture relatively slow/hard.
