Love the lens - sharpest that I've ever owned, but age has caught up with me. I can't hand hold it and need something with image stabilization and have bought the Tamron 24-70. The lens is in pristine condition - no dust scratches, nicks, etc. Paid $2,400 for it - will sell for $1,600 or best offer.
You're not going to like this, but one can buy a brand new one at Amazon.com for $1500.00, and a Used-Like New one for $989.99 The prices of non image stabilized lens have fallen regretfully low.
