DA*16-50 (Canada & Worldwide)

Asking Price
SOLD

Item Description
Item for sale is an excellent copy of the DA*16-50 f/2.8 SDM lens. It is in excellent condition and free of any defects or problems. I know this lens has an extremely bad reputation for sample variance and quality control so this should be a great way for users to know what they will be getting before they buy it as I will provide full size samples for download. The lens comes with both original lens caps, lens hood and pouch.

The optical quality of this lens is excellent considering the variation seen with this lens. I would say it is better than the Tokina sample tested on Photozone in the Nikon mount. I am here providing links to full size samples at both f/2.8 and f/5.6 at 16mm and 50mm here: Zenfolio | Sinan Tarlan | DA*16-50 Full Size Samples so that the user can see exactly what they are getting. These were shot through a dirty window so please keep that in mind - none the less they demonstrate the outstanding quality this lens can achieve when stopped down to f/5.6 and even at f/2.8 it shows a very respectable showing. No PP has been done on any of the photos - they are Jpegs straight from my K10D. Photos of the product itself are below. I will prefer and give priority to buyers in Canada first as this is a good deal for them with a guaranteed good copy. I will however ship worldwide if other users are interested.

Please send me a private message on here or email me at: sinan_tarlan@yahoo.com if you are interested. Thanks!

Bump for DA*16-50

[sft]

Lowered the price for the DA*. I believe this is a very fair price for those in Canada or even those abroad too since it is a guaranteed copy and in excellent condition.
