I am selling this mint-condition lens that includes a quality UV filter.
It has been very lightly used, and performs flawlessly.
I'm selling it only because I want one lens, and need a little more reach.
Price is $259 and will include shipping to the lower 48 states.

I have this lens and use it more than all my other glass. Razor sharp images. Good luck with your sale. Terrific price for someone.

I'm interested in the lens. What Nikon model are you using it on? Do you have any sample photos with the lens? Frank

Hello.
I used this lens on a Nikon D300.
I have attached a lower-res photo of a shot taken with it.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Thanks for your interest.

Sure, just let me know if you have any questions. I have included a pic of it...don't let the less-than-sharp pic be representative of the actual lens...not sure how that happened...
I can accept paypal if you decide to make this purchase.

After some thought, I have decided I will pass on purchasing your lens. If I get a lens I want to have the capability to maintain the f2.8 throughout the zoom range. Good luck on your sale.

I shoot with a Sigma DC 17-70 f2.5-4 Macro HSM on my crop sensor Sony. For a while,I considered the lens a dude, because the photos were generally soft but occasionally one would be very sharp. Testing revealed to me tha the focus was inconsistent, somethings back focus, sometimes front focus. I sent the lens along with my camera body to Sigma who performed some kind of magic. Now the lens is crisp on every shot, with either of my two Sony bodies. This lens is always on one of my cameras. Since Sigma serviced it, it's a very good lens.

Personally, I never had any issues with it. Nice and sharp at all times.
