In my cart.. pondered it. Decided to cast it back.. I already have the 16-50 and the 18-135.

Super excellent price though! Probably the cheapest you'll ever see this lens in this (potentially) good of a condition with a return policy.

But I think this lens is one of those that you need to test and test thoroughly.. a few too many complaints on decentering tell me it is perhaps a trend with loose production.. you either get a solid copy or you get a decentered dud. whomever buys this please test it thoroughly.

wonder if this is a price mistake. seems too low for a used copy of this lens. $329 would be more likely.

Adorama's condition grading system:

E = Barrel may show signs of light wear and/or usage. Lens glass is very clean.*
