Hello all,
I would like to buy a fast 2.8 lens for soccer. Nikon mount, would consider any brand , focal length,but the longer the better. I would entertain any suggestions.
Thank you,
I have 300 MM f2.8 Nikon lens in like new condition. Used on one trip, but not cheap. This is the ad that will appear on eBay next week
This lens is often considered to be one of, if not the sharpest lens in the Nikon lineup. Add to that its fast VR-ll stabilization, ED glass, and you have a superior prime telephoto lens: But then if you are looking at this lens you probably know that. Let me then describe this particular lens.
I purchased it for a one-week trip to Costa Rica and have now completed that trip. This was the totality of use this lens has ever had and, by the way, it performed perfectly. For a number of personal and physical reasons, I will not be making other similar trips and thus will not have reason to use this fast a lens again. My loss, your gain. It is literally true, that this lens never left my home, other than for this one trip, it has had no other use.
I am selling this USA Model lens in its original packaging (Nikon price $5499.95), and am including the Nikon Drop-in Circular Polarizer Filter (Nikon price $398.00), an after-market lens cap and an Arca Swiss style tripod mounting plate as well as a Camo cover exactly as shown in the photos. A note about the lens cap—As can be seen in the photos, the lens does come with a cover that fits over the entire lens shade. It is big, it is bulky, it is hard to put on and/or take off. For these reasons I found a much easier to use cap (see photos). The total value of this package is excess of $6000.00.
The lens is in MINT or Pristine condition. No scratches or marks on the body or on the glass. It is truly in like new condition. The camo cover has been on the lens from essentially when I got it until I removed it for these photos.
I ship (ground insured and signature required) only to the lower 48 states and accept only PayPal. Payment must be made within 24 hours of the sale to avoid having the sale voided. I am asking $4500.
