For Sale: Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Lens
Price: $925.00 USD via PayPal
(price includes PayPal fees and UPS Ground to CONUS)
Sale Conditions: PayPal transaction must be eligible for Buyer/Seller Protection
I purchased this lens from Amazon.com on June 12, 2006. The lens is in perfect working condition, hood has some minor "photo bag rash". The lens comes with original box (UPC code was removed for the rebate purposes), soft pouch, manual and USA warranty card.
I am selling it since I no longer need 2.8 speed -- I am making a switch to f4.0 lenses.
There's a tiny speckle visible on the front of the lens (it's been there for as long as I can remember probably from the factory) to my knowledge it never affected lens performance, nevertheless I wanted you to know about it before hand:
Here are the pictures of the lens:
And some sample shoots I've taken with it:

Here's one of the best reviews of this lens:
http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-24-70mm-f-2.8-L-USM-Lens-Review.aspx
This lens in particular ... I wasn't planning on letting it go because in comparison with 24-105 it does have the following advantages (besides the 2.8):
1) it's hood coverage is all the way through it's range (from 24 to 70) whilst 24-105's only covers 24mm
2) it's focusing distance is much closer than 24-105's
3) I can definitely see that the focusing speed of 24-105 is slower than 24-70 (on 20d, 5d -- in low light conditions)
4) 24-105 hood extends with the lens while 24-70's hood stays in one place (24-70 extends inside the hood)
The biggest disadvantage of 24-70 for me is it's weight due to the type of photography that I am after.
Thanks
I will trade you 2 White Lightning X800's, A WL 10,000 and ($250 OR a Sigma 24-70) for it.........
I have them on eBay here:

FINAL Price drop: $825.00
The sale is off -- I am keeping this baby.
I just took this lens for a photo op in a low light/flash type environment and it just blew me away. I just can't part with the almost 3D like images it produces time after time.
Sure it weighs like a brick but hopefully when I get a 1D it will balance nicer on it.
Thanks to all that inquired and special thanks to all that didn't buy it -- I'd be kicking myself later for letting it go.
I was worried.
peace.
