I got a 70 210 f/3.5-4.5 like NEW

What a nice lens. In original box with packaging very little dust and a smooth zoom just as new. With my 30D and the 28 105 f/3.5-4.5 this is a great combo.

Definitely a nice lens, its what I use for paintball since I won't risk my 70-200 on the field. I found it in a local shop marked down to $60 because of a stiff zoom... Turned out to be a five minute fix realigning the zoom ring.

yep, I also like the combo.

Hey, I have the same combo! My 28-105mm just came yesterday though so I haven't tried it out yet.

Congrats on the lens! This was my first tele. I loved it! Of course it led me to the L I have now so be warned!

I'm considering getting this lens instead of the 70-200 f/4L. I mean, it's less than half the price and performs almost as well. It has Ring USM, 8 aperture blades and a fairly fast aperture and is more compact @ 70mm.

This review may interest you then.

I will have to say that while the 70-210 does have great value, it does not really compare to the 70-200 L after one year of use. The L is a much better lens in every way. But if money is tight, the 70-210 is a great choice.

Very nice writeup there. I can definitely see the difference in terms of build quality, sharpness at full zoom wide open and chromatic abberations. We'll see how my budget plays out this holiday season

My 1st and only telezoom. This lens is definitely enough for the times I need the long range, which hasn't been very much... Only complaint is the zoom creep.

This lens was my first tele too along with its brother 100-300. I like it a lot when I had it and used it extensively for sports.

I sold it for more than I got it for.
