Hi all just been offered the 17-35mm I fancy it but thought I might do some homework anyone here have one of these or know if it is likely to be worth the £130 being asked ?this included a 77mm Hoya filter and hood plus carryng bag.It is in really nice condition not used much at all

Thanks in anticipation.

Sounds OK. Ffordes had some and I think fleabay one went for £150. I was looking hard at these before stumping up for the 17-50.
Lurking is shirking.!

I'm guessing this lens was intended for a full frame camera? If you're going to use it on a Pentax dSLR I'm not sure if £130 is worth it. You should be able to pick up a Tamron 17-50 for around £200 used, and to me the constant f2.8 and extra length would be well worth the extra £70.

77mm is a huge filter size too, which means added expense if you look into polarisers and other filters. The Tamron is 67mm.
