Hello, I have a Canon 24-70mm f2.8 I and the auto-focus has given out. I no longer really use the lens and was wondering how much value has the lens lost due to the auto focus? Is best to repair then sell, or just sell it for a lower price and not repair it?

in your title you really mean "lose" and not "loose", right? it is like a (loose screw) and, (don't lose your wallet), right? big difference! ok, now about your 24-70mm f2.81, you have 2 strikes against you, 1: the newer version which is, 24-70mm 2.8II, much better than the older version you have. 2: you have an auto-focus issue on top the 1st. issue, which makes the matter worst   one way to find out would be for you to advertise it on e-bay and you'll find out. in fact, you can see the prices of the ones on e-bay and compare them to the one you have. my $0.02

cheerz.
