No, I'm sorry - I wouldn't. This lens was discontinued a while ago and technology has moved on. He would be lucky to get much over £100 for it on eBay. It is true that, at the time, the next step up was the 70-200 f/2.8L, but the one you are looking at is not in the same league. It depends on your budget of course, but I'd put the money towards something newer and better.

Just my 2p though, and I'm sure you would take some good pics with it if you decided to get it.
