Model: 0345B002
$425 Picked up in Salinas, CA or $450 shipped anywhere in the US via FedEx Priority Overnight
This is pretty much brand new, I only used it a few times. Comes complete with box, owners manual, unfilled out warranty card (=
It is still under the 1 year warranty as well.

I just picked up a 17-40mm f/4L which has been pretty cool to mess with - the 16-35f/2.8L would be better but I read some naff reviews of it so I went with the 17-40. Also just got a 70-200 f/4L IS otherwise would be asking about yours. Thinking the extra 100mm might have been more useful @ track events and such.
Nice lens - good luck with the sale!

Here is where I was sitting (taken with 17-55 at 17 setting):
And here are a couple I took with the 70-300 at 300 setting, same place in the stadium (2nd level, about 10 rows up)):

Same thing with shooting AutoX. I could basically sit in one spot and take full frame photos of cars at any point on the track and not even have to get out of my seat...made **** real easy for a hella lazy person like myself (=

I really do love this lens, but there were definitely a few times where I feel like the extra reach would have been very useful... So in retrospect, maybe I would have bought this lens you have for sale... Someone else can learn from this right here right now.
