Canon EOS EF 17-35/2.8 L

[The Greek]

Simple question, is a 15 year old 17-35/2.8 lens still worth £400+ or has it had its day?

From what i've read it goes

16-35 F2.8L II > 17-40 F4L > 17-35 F2.8L

HTH

I am looking to buy a 17-40 f/4 and Stumble upon a nice 17-35 f2.8, TBH I'm very tempted.

The only drawback being age, UL 1997 I think.

Forget the 17-35 try and get a good 2nd hand 17-40

I had one awhile ago, and whilst it is old and does show it's age in some areas the 17-40 doesn't really compare, if you need f2.8 you need f2.8.

Oh well doesn't matter now, as I have just bought a 6 month old 17-40 for the same money.
