Item Description

I'll throw in a Tiffen Circular Polarizer (58mm) for another $20. I'm not sure the exact model, but it's made in Japan and cost me about $60 new from the local shop. Lens was purchase without caps, so it will come with generics.

I purchased this about a couple years ago from a local camera shop. Since you're here you probably already know about this lens.

A solid performing zoom, very sharp when stopped down a bit but may not be as contrasty as others. Superb build quality (except for that zoom creep), and a fast one-touch zoom/focus that's quite nice once you get a feel for it.

It hurts a bit parting with this guy; we've had some good times at the zoo, but I've decided I'm more of a wide-to-moderate shooter, and would be better off making room in my kit for something like the *50-135.

Optics are excellent; there's some very small dust specs inside (those big flecks in the photo are on the lens surface), but nothing that affects image quality.

The only cosmetic damage I can see (and caused me to downgrade from 'Excellent' to 'Good') is that the built-in lens hood seems to have been slightly dented at some point. You can see in the first picture that the upper left part seems to be a little flat; this doesn't affect the performance of the lens or the hood in any way (it extends, retracts, and 'clicks' home just fine).

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the delay; PMs replied. Also a reminder that I don't have a Paypal account anymore (and don't really intend to get one again, sorry).

I know there might be some kind of trust issue -- I realize I'm not a well-known member of the forum or anything -- but let me know if you have any misgivings in PM and we can try to work something out. If you live in/near San Diego or Palo Alto (intend to head up there sometime in the next few weeks) that would make things easy, heh.

All right, well, everyone who expressed interest in the lens backed off either for logistical or unexpressed reasons... hence, bump.
