In another thread I'm looking at a mid-range fast zoom. Might be able to get a 10 year old L series lens for a good price. It's been cleaned and refurbished. Not sure if the older lens is that much different than the newer. Looking at the 28-70mm f2.8.

What do you think?

Good lens if its ok but not sure if canon still have parts for it now.
 
Mine's 10 years old and still performing as intended. Worth mentioning that Canon service officially stopped two months ago (along with the 17-35/2.8L) although I'm sure the independents will continue to do the business as long as parts are still hanging around.

Hmm...wondering whether I should try and get this for a small amount. The new ones are going for US$1200-1300 here. Might be able to pick this one up for around US$500, wonder if it's worth the risk...
 
If I still had Canon I wouldn't hesitate. My first Nikon lens was an old copy of the Beast..28-70 2.8. Fantastic VFM

Thanks. I think, if I get a good enough deal, I may go for it.
