Thats been on there for a while now, started at 550 -> 500 -> now 450
Its the OLD version, which are apparently not very good. 17-35 -> 16-35 -> 16-35 II

obviously it wouldn't be as good. But it's good for the price for what it is.

that lens sucks, you're better off paying $300 more for a 17-40L

even though that lens sucks, at least it's still better than those on CL asking for $350 for a tamron 17-35 f2.8-4 or equiv, right?

I had that piece of shit before, and sold it to the guy who has it now. The guy that has it purchased it off of me for $550. He is a fucking huge piece of shit. He said he had only $500, then he rummaged around for some change and eventually had to drive to an ATM to get the extra $50 dollars.
He is a piece of shit, and i would NOT buy it from him.
Oh and btw, I purchased it for $70 from a pawn shop.
the thing is SOFT. Grab a 17-40mm, you'll be a lot happier, hell, even a tamron 17-35mm would be sharper.
I'd stay away from that thing because the guy treats his gear like complete shit.
BTW: when i purchased the lens, the focus switch was already busted.
