24-70mm f2.8 seemed like a no-brainer

Re: 24-70mm f2.8 seemed like a no-brainer

When I write 24-70mm f2.8 I imply version 2. Someone in my area is selling the original in a "good working condition" for $600 OBO. Should I be considering it? Probably shouldn't try to skimp on a lens that promises to become a workhorse.

A detailed review of Sigma and Canon 24-70mm side by side gives it to Canon by a score of 4-1, with Sigma getting dinged specifically for AF performance shooting indoor basketball. But the 2018 review did not use an R6, so maybe the camera shares the blame.
