Lens was comes complete with a receipt from an Australian retailer showing purchase date of 18th September
2007!! for >$1600 and is covered by warranty from Canon Australia and the retailer.
It looks just like it did when it was bought, even the hood is pretty much perfect.
I'd like to get close to what was paid for it but I have to be realistic about ebay HK prices so $1200pp.
