I probably shudl post my question on lens section but i cant find the section anywhere.
Here is the thing , I bought a used 24-70 2.8L USM online, tne seller claimed that he tested the functionality and no problem upon mailing the lens.
However I run into some issuses.
1)When I use AF, the lens is consistently focusing in front and back without actually taking the picture.Pictures shot by MF is normal and working normally.
2) The eyecup vision is extremely dark through the lens.I can barely see the object through the eyecup.
I tried with different lens(24-105mm) but non of the problem occurred(Using exact camera setting). Since i am a beginner , is this issue about my camear, or i should try to fix the lens. How can i reslove those two problems.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Definitely return it and make sure you follow all of the "rules" if this is from ebay or another online auction site to avoid problems. Although the aperture petals MAY have gotten stuck during shipping, it is likely this problem was known before it was sold so don't expect the seller to necessarily be gracious in accepting the return. A stuck aperture is not uncommon on a lens that has been left to sit for a very long period of time but once it happens the only way to be confident it won't be an ongoing issue is to have it properly serviced and since this is far from a "rare" lens it would be best to return it and get a good working copy.

"I agree with Robert, the refurb section of Canon USA is excellent. It doesn't offer the steep discounts available through some of the auction sites but instead of coming with the risk of a misrepresented and malfunctioning product it is a properly checked out product with a warranty."
The Refurbished store does offer some pretty good discounts from time to time, most especially around the winter holiday season.
