could always just try and use TP abit more, they get onto it if you're just trying to boost your post count but it would be easy over afew weeks :) unless you want it gone imminently?

one things for sure, don't bother trading it in at wilkinson cameras in southport, they offered me £150 for a 75-300mm and a 50mm 1.4, i then went on to sell the 50mm on its own for £180 :lol:

I'd offer to post it for you but given the massive trouble Whittie got into I'll not bother :lol:

Trouble is with ebay you'll lose 10% or more - fuck that.

Best new UK price is £750 via Amazon.

Good one here for £680 - http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=318412

I'd say £650 on a forum and keep the bright mark quiet (rightly or wrongly - hardly anyone shoots that narrow surely). If theres any similar problems with any of my lenses I've never found it as I don't use much beyond F11.

Hi. I've got this Canon 17-55mm F2.8 USM IS lens -

http://www.warehouseexpress.com/buy-canon-ef-s-17-55mm-f2-8-is-usm-lens/p1012403?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=canon%2017-55&utm_campaign=Lenses%20/%20Canon&cm_mmc=google%20Warehouse%20Cameras%20And%20Lenses-_-Lenses%20/%20Canon-_-Lenses%20/%20Canon%20EF-S%2017-55mm%20f2.8%20IS%20USM%20Lens-_-canon%2017-55

Im thinking of upgrading to a 5D mk2 body but which my lens wont fit so I would sell it, however there is a small mark on the glass inside the lens which shows up on light coloured photographs at f18-22 as a little dark smudge (bright skys, white studio etc) Its never bothered me as I rarely shoot at that end of the aperture scale and on the odd occasion I do it would get blobbed out in PS no problems.

theres one on ebay at the moment which Im going to keep an eye on -

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Canon-EF-S-17-55mm-f-2-8-USM-Lens-/120719405168?pt=UK_Lenses_Filters_Lenses&hash=item1c1b6ff070#ht_1087wt_1139

Does anybody have any thoughts on what mine would be worth?
