This lens is in superb condition with one exception...the AF went pear-shaped a couple of months ago. Any advice on a selling price point? I know Canon will not repair it, but I've heard there may be a shop or two out there that can. Hey, one day we all focused manually. ;)

I'm torn about selling it, but I have a 17-40/4 on the way and probably don't need it any more.

Thanks!

Pear-shaped?

:) Sorry, my Aussie friends influence me too much.

From Wiki:
The third meaning is mostly limited to the United Kingdom (external link), Ireland (external link) and Australasia (external link). It describes a situation that went awry, perhaps horribly wrong. A failed bank robbery (external link), for example, could be said to have "gone pear-shaped". Less well known in the US it generated some media interest when British politician Margaret Thatcher used the phrase[citation needed (external link)] in front of the world's press at one of her first meetings with President Ronald Reagan, with many reporters being unsure of the meaning of the term. It is also a more polite version of phrase "tits-up", also meaning a situation going awry.

In other words, the AF does not work.

Keep it. You would not get much for it.
