I bought this lens from another member on FM. This is my favorite canon lens and was hoping to keep it but I moved to Nikon for now and I'm shifting my gear around and need to get more pricey Nikon lenses now so I got to let this one go.
Date code US0806. There is 1 scratch a size of speck of sand on the front element that does not affect image quality. There are 3-4 more smaller specks but hard to see. I bought it this way and it didn't bother me as long as the IQ should be 85L quality and has worked beautifully for me.
