Says sold already, not surprising at that price, if they really sold it, or just withdrew it.

Normally it would only say Ended if the listing was withdrawn by the seller. I would say it sold.

My experience on ebay is that whenever "they" say, "I haven't used this or that," 90+% of the time, you can count on this or that certainly not working, at all. They've told you it is untested and the description is "accurate" as far as it goes. Whether they truly "don't know," I have suspicions.


But it would have been a nice purchase at that price, even without AF. Someone got a pretty good deal!

The autofocus works well. It’s a sharp lens as well.

Yes. Thanks to 7.62lew for the heads up. I’ve been wanting one of these for years but never wanted to pay the price.

I saw that listing and was tempted, but I already have two 400mm lens. Didn't need to add to the collection.
