thanks for your reply. The rattle occurs if the lens is slightly shook, regardless If off or on camera. Also powering on or off makes no difference. I did take 50 photos on 2 cameras in a variety of configurations and they were all excellent. I heard from the seller and he offered to lower the price to 150 from 325.
Wow, that is some reduction (even if the currency is British pounds, 150 seems like a very low price) - is that a red flag ? The original EF 24-105L (some of them, I think earlier copies) had an issue with the control ribbon failing causing camera error.
I decided to take the risk and keep it for 150. Other than the rattle it looks great. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I had an original V1 lens for a number of years and now have the V2 lens for about 4 years - I don't remember any significant movements or rattles with either of them. I never had the ribbon issue with my V1 lens.
