If you are wondering why there are no pictures of the lens itself, it is because it was immaculate! the box had two tiny dents the size of my pinky fingernail, and the lens had obviously been taken out of the box, but the warranty and instruction cards were in the box as well as the case and strap.( Laying on top of the lens in the case.)
The zoom is tight from 150 to 250 or so but the lock works, the focus limiter also, and I will have to watch a you tube to see how to use the other built in gadgets to focus. The glass is perfect, there are no extraneous marks on it, and after 100 shots, it appears to be functioning perfectly. So thank you angry spouse/partner for getting this sent back!
here is Murray again!
