Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8 L USM 3130247 - CM22422-004
This Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8 L USM Zoom Lens, #3130247, is in great condition with minor handling wear. I rate it cosmetically a (9+). The focus ring is smooth, but the zoom ring is quite stiff. The autofocus and aperture function properly and the glass is clean and clear with no haze, marks, or fungus. There are a few faint specks of dust inside, but they do not affect image quality. This lens includes a Canon lens hood and front & rear caps. Please refer to the photos for details.
