I looked at the Amazon listing - Sounds like maybe "seller" refurbished as opposed to Nikon refurbished....my interpretation (I would try to ask the seller, best way to know). It does come with a warranty, 90 days from Amazon...and by the end of that period you will know whether it is good or bad. Any "Nikkon Refurbs" I have bought were no different than new out-of-the-box (Nikon Gold Box) even though they came in a white box,. they look, smell, feel and act like new, and I had no faults/failures, nor performance complaints.

I believe Nikon refurbished lenses come with a 30 day warranty?

Nikon has different beliefs.

" Refurbished cameras, lenses and accessories include a 90-day limited warranty."

I would buy a Nikon refurbished lens or a used lens. Be sure to check out KEH for used items.

Wouldn't take a chance - have been watching the same lens - try Roberts Camera Used Photo Pro - have bought a lot from them. Condition always better than described, and satisfaction guaranteed. They had several when I looked earlier in the week.


Also the same with KEH; I buy from both of them all the time.

It sounds like someone is either not familiar with the correct terminology or is trying to pull a fast one. You want "Factory Refurbished."


Even this term could be misleading if not specific "Nikon". I bought a "factory refurb" lens on ebay, but the seller could not confirm it was Nikon refurbished so I returned it. If it was refurbished, even by a Nikon factory, but not a USA Nikon service center, then it could still be grey market and ineligible for Nikon USA repair.
