Wondering if anyone knows if one of these two rifles is more dangerous than the other and why? Should one of them be banned?
Haven't posted in a while...I'll bite.
Neither of them need banned. The pink one *can* more dangerous.
Toys should not look like guns and guns should not look like toys. We don't need to paint or color a weapon for marketing purposes (exception for turkey hunting and a camo print weapon). A gun is a weapon and tool that should be respected. When we make them look cartoonish, we lose the respect for what it is capable of.
Having said that, all basic gun rules apply as well as local laws. Get training, join the NRA.

I was just thinking: "I wonder how long I have to read this thread to see a political comment."
End of page three. I was shocked and surprised it took that long...

I am thoroughly disgusted at all the sexism and brand elitism in these responses. I shall be reporting you all to the PC police for the proper thinking an attitude adjustments! :-))
First...you need to generate a hurt feelings report. THEN proceed to the PC Police. I believe the new PC Police Station is located on the corner of Millennial Ave. and Weak Boulevard in case you were unsure. :-)
Pic added of box. No, I’m not going to open the box...

I would buy new and the lens is on sale
Where and for how much? What is your idea of sale? Again...not gray market.
Thanks Queencitysanta. I joined Fred Miranda just for this search. Honestly, for not much more than a refurb, I could buy new from Adorama and get a free Manfroto tripod I don’t need (sell the tripod and be close to a refurb price...within $50).
Major thanks for the reply! I’ll check KEH.
Looking to purchase a US model...I'd like to be able to pay for service if it ever needs it in the future.
Have cash, can PayPal, or ApplePay.
New in box, unopened, never used. Was received as a super thoughtful gift but I have no need for. Price includes shipping to CONUS via UPS, insured, and tracking number provided.
This is a USA model, not gray market, with full USA warranty. Price is firm. Prefer PayPal. I'm willing to meet halfway if the distance is reasonable.
Feel free to reply or PM with any questions...

who has this lens and what do you think?
It's a great lens for taking on vacation and walking around BUT it does have its limitations. It's soft but it does have a place in my bag. If I'm limited to two lenses, I always grab my 50mm f/1.4 and my 70-200 f/2.8d. If I'm limited to one lens, its situation dependent but can be a toss-up between the 50mm or the 24-70 f/2.8.
No. The 3300 won’t allow use of the auto focus on this lens. It would be a manual focus only lens.

I’ve been “recalibrated” on the pricing...thanks!

Solid. See pics.
This is an all metal lens. No consumer plastic here. Body is in perfect shape and shows no sign of use, auto-focus is quick and smooth on my D750, F&R caps. Serial number is 346171. Ships from the Cleveland, Oh area. I'd like to get $350 for it...feel free to make an offer.
