So I wanted to know if I should clean it before attempting to sell it (feeling guilty about selling it in this condition[:$]). I think I will find out what is costs, to see If I will at least get the cost of cleaning back from the sale of the lens.<o></o>

Since catching “L” disease a few months ago (70-300), I’m hooked. With every new L version released not only is the IQ improved, but the new coatings have reduced cleaning and improved flare, so it’s always the new technology lenses for me.<o></o>
