Is the canon ef 11 24mm f 4l usm worth buying used?

Yes, I'd look at it used. Good lenses last for years, and buying one a generation or two behind the newest is one of the easiest ways to get serious gear for less. The reasoning is in buying used. I can't tell you what a used copy costs, so compare current listings yourself.

The 11-24mm f/4 is an autofocus zoom with no stabilisation, made for full frame. On a full frame body such as the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV or the Canon EOS 6D Mark II, it covers 11 to 24mm as marked, which is where it shines. On an APS-C body like the Canon EOS 80D, it frames like 18-38mm, so you lose most of the wide view that makes it worth buying.

If you're buying any used body alongside it, budget for a new genuine battery, because old ones lose capacity.
