I bought this lens from Nikon as refurbished. It looked new then and still does.
Its been used a handful of times..a macro workshop or my fur babies pics and an occasional landscape image. Its sharp and snappy. I added a hood and Nikon pouch which is where the lens has sat for the most part. There is some minor paint wearing along the base of the lens if you look at the image of the back element. Just like to point out anything departing from perfect. This lens sells used for $550-$600. I am asking $500 PP and shipping included. I have moved to Sony.
