The lens has been lightly used and carefully stored. I don't shoot many far-away things, so decided the 18-105 suits me better. Lens looks almost new; comes with petal hood, rear cap, UV filter instead of front cap, original box, and a yellow band that helps control zoom creep. (In case you don't know, this lens tends to creep when pointed downward.) $530 includes CONUS shipping. 14-day money back if not as described.

It ranges from 3.5 at the wide end to 5.6. Sharp and clear are relative terms. It would be no match for a lens that costs thousands, but it does not cost thousands. It is at least as good as the 18-55 you will receive Monday, but its reach is nearly four times as long. I think it is very good value, and there is great advantage in not having to swap lenses in the middle of a shoot.

I looked it up on B&H some comments said it was a heavy lens--how do you feel about that? I am seriously interested

Again, a relative term. A long lens has to weigh more than short. I found it much easier to carry than the multiple lenses it would take to cover the same range.

I have this lens and really like it except for the lens crept. Where did you buy the yellow band.
