hey guys out there,

this lens has been replaced by the newer model with the extra 4mm wide.. does any one know whether this older lens is still sold 2nd hand? dont seem to find much info, other than a comparison website..

thanks!

regards

It's definitely available 2nd hand at the B&S forums. I don't know how much they usually trade for, but asking prices usually range around 1 grand.

it's the other way round...24-70 better than 28-70, else the price difference can't be justified..

wow twelve years old..must have been wellkept...

ya no doubt its a solid lens...one thing it probably handles better than its younger bro is flaring..cuz of the 4mm...read it on the net..
