if this is your first time purchasing a lens used, make sure you test it thoroughly. take some pictures at different focal lengths. zoom into the results on your lcd to make sure it's not too soft. it's easy to get carried away by a good deal and not test it as much, but when you take it home you'd hate to find out you have a dud.

with that said, make sure you're shutter speeds are appropriate- with that lens you're looking at least anything faster than 1/100, even faster if possible (depends where you're testing)
