I just won a 20-35 2.8L on ebay, and can't wait to get it. At $530 (with shipping) for an L lens in "pristine" condition, I'm sure I got a good deal, but I can't seem to find much in the way of reviews of this lens, since it isn't made anymore. Does anyone have any input as to how good a lens this is, or what kind of deal I got... I need to get a lens hood for it, and will need filters...

The next thing I'm thinking of is the 100-300 USM lens. Yeah, I'd love to get another L, but for a lens like that, to buy it in an L will be far more than what I can do.

Thanks,

Rich

Rich, the PZ MTF test shows some very high resolution numbers thruout the zoom range. So when you get the lens, you tell us how happy you are with its image quality.

Thanks, guys. I'd not seen photozone before, and after reading the review, I'm anxiously awaiting my new lens. The seller said it would be sent out today. Shoulda asked for overnight!
