It was a result off poor stock management at a well known camera store. I was actually bought the more basic model however inside the box on opening was the ‘L’ version. Basically a blessing and a curse. This hefty model was overkill for my needs so I never used it. The basic model would have been much more suitable and been used I imagine!
The gifter could still get a bottle of something tho, you’re right!
Whoever gifted it you will be due a bottle of something fancy now I bet.
Though not the fastest, any L IS USM is megabucks. You should sell it easy, if you price it right on ebay. Maybe wait for a £1 listing day, or marketplace it.
