This is one of my favorite lenses. I have used it quite a bit over the last three years. It is entirely flawless and a wonderful lens. It is in great shape with no scratches or imperfections on the glass. The outside of the lens is in great shape. The lens hood has standard wear and tear. I have been using this less and less so I am getting rid of it.

The Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Autofocus Lens is a high performance, water-resistant, and ultra wide-angle L-series lens. The optical design has been improved to offer better edge-to-edge image quality. In addition, it features 3 high-precision aspherical lens elements, each of a different type: ground, replica and GMo. Improved AF algorithms will help the lens to focus faster and quieter.

All of the "L" lenses deliver optical performance equal to similar fixed focal lengths lenses, and the USM lenses do this with silent, high-speed focusing. Distortions and aberrations are remarkably small for a lens of such amazing capabilities.

* Entirely internal focusing and zooming movement
* Ring-type USM provides ultra-quite, super-fast, precision auto focusing and predictive tracking
* Fulltime manual focus override (even in AF mode)
* Circular aperture diaphragm produces brilliant out-of-focus characteristics
