A point to watch with non-IS models of Canon lens I learnt to my cost. The non-IS models are quiet old and Canon may not be able to supply replacement parts. The Auto focus unit which contains a glass grating is quiet fragile.

I dropped my lens from 3 feet off the tripod. No external damage but AF unit jammed. The lens was a write-off.

So worth checking with Canon UK service dept if these parts are still available for this lens.
