Very neat looking pair, but they're not really identical.

All PMs now answered. The right one is gray, the left one is black - only difference between the two lenses shown above. I will try to either take new sample pics with it this weekend or search for publishable pics I have, over the weekend, probably by Sunday noon.

skamaraju · 08-22-2008, 07:25 PM

Is it APO version? If so I am interested.

**akptc** · 08-22-2008, 07:46 PM

Some more info based on questions I received:

- this is a non-APO version

- I do not see any dents or scratches beyond the normal thinner-than-hair usage surface marks here and there on the body

- the filter size is 72mm

- the aperture blades move smoothly

- the aperture ring turns as it should

- the lens works as it should in every way

- someone pointed out that I was new here (true). I have successfully sold and bought a lot of gear on rangefinderforum.com and on some on photo.net (as akptc), you can look me up there

This is a super deal! I had this lens a while ago and loved it! Fairly sharp and some CA, but nothing a little PP could not fix. Very small and light for a 400mm AF lens. Someone better buy it before I change my mind and buy it myself.

k100d · 08-23-2008, 06:35 AM

bump for you, that's a great deal

if i didn't order the 55-300, i'd probably be on this

**akptc** · 08-23-2008, 08:03 AM

Thanks guys for the bumps. It really is a nice lens, it even works pretty well with my 1.5 and 2.0 teleconverters.

**akptc** · 08-23-2008, 03:42 PM

The lens is now sold, thanks everyone!
