Picked up a brand new Canon 17-40mm f/4L today for $400 from Best Buy.

I'm super excited to use this lens on my 5d MkII.

Walked in to buy a videogame, Street Fighter X Tekken, and walked over to the camera department and they had the lens marked down like crazy. I said hey what is up with this lens and they said it was a bestbuy.com return and since they normally dont carry it they had to get rid of it. So I bought it on the spot.

It works perfectly. Probably a buyers remorse purchase.
