Hi All,


After hiring a 24-70 f2.8L and a 24-105 f4L from lensforhire.co.uk I've decided I want to purchase a 24-70 - I have seen them new for about £950 and that's a little steep for me so I'm going to have to buy used.

I'm hoping that the pending release of the 24-70 MK II will mean that there will be an abundance of the current model on the used market soon and I can stretch to about £700.

I'm not keen on the Bay (too many horror stories, not for me so I dont want it to be my first!) and you dont see many popping up on the members market.
I had a look at MPB and nothing at the moment so the question is where else would people trust in looking for lenses??


Thanks

You won't get one new now, no where has them in stock since its been replaced by the MkII, which is over 1k more :(

I purchased mine from ebay this week, £750, just hope its ok when it gets here!

The MKII is still pre-order everywhere I'm seen it and there are places that are selling the MKI new to get rid of stock.

I counting on a few "gotta haves" selling their MKI to offset the cost of the MKII :D
