There is a guy in my area who has a Canon 70-200 2.8 NON IS listed for sale for $600.00. I emailed him to get some details and he told me it was an older version and guessed it to be from "the mid 2000's". He inherited it from his father and guessed it to be about that time when he bought it. He said there is some minor wear on the lens but preforms fine. He is supposed to be sending me some pics and the serial number so I can verify the age. I know condition is everything when dealing with used equipment but assuming the lens is 10-15 years old but still functions properly is this a good price or not for this lens? I know for that lens in general they sell for quite a bit more then that but I don't know how much value a used lens looses with age? Anything specific I should look for/at, this would be the first lens I have bought used. I am planning on taking my camera and my laptop with me so I can shoot a few shots and look at them on the screen.
Thanks
