  This is the older version of the 24-70 F2.8 L USM,

  I bought this off the PI forum about 18 months ago maybe 2 years and had it
  recently serviced with Alan McDonald camera repairs in Dublin.

  The camera is in good condition I would rate it at about 8+ out of 10 there are some
  signs of use on the exterior but the glass is in good condition and the rear mount is good too.

  At the time of service I asked Alan to look at cleaning the dust from the interior of the glass
  but he confirmed there was no need as the particals are OUTSIDE the focusing range and
  do not show up on any images.

  The front Zoom tube holding the glass elements to the front had been excessivly
  loose from general usage where the rollers had worn, these were replaced about
  6 months ago. This is a problem even with the new 24-70 lenses due to the weight of the front glass.
  Anyway the lens is performing well now.

  I am looking for €550 (ONO) delivered of I can meet up.
  it comes with the original hood (showing signs of usage externally), front and rear caps
  and a 77mm UV filter.

  Hi Alan,

  are you around Dublin sometimes?

  I may be interested in this lens (or even in 430EX) but I’ve no plans for a west coast trip nowadays.

  Cheers,

  Hi Istvan,

  I will be going to Meath/Dublin probably this weekend coming.

  I have given another user on the forum 1st refusal on it but
  his offer is a good bit lower than the asking price.

  EDIT *** sorry Istvan, about the flash it is still available too
  and is good to go !! I have sent you a private message**
