Looking to upgrade some glass for my Nikon and am looking to sell of this lens. It is in great shape, and takes wonderful images but I am looking for faster glass than this. I have had the lens for about a year and it is in great condition. No marks on the elements, no dust that I can see and has 58mm Tiffen UV filter included. The lens comes with both caps and the lens hood, but no case. I have used this lens on both my D50 and D80 where the crop factor extends it out to a 35mm equivalent of 105-450mm. It is a full frame lens so it will also work on film based Nikons without vignetting. Zoom is nice and tight, with little to no zoom creep. As the title says this is also a Macro lens with a 1:2 reproduction ratio, and an awesome working distance. The Sheaffer nib shot below was taken with the lens about 6 feet away from the nib. Much easier to set up shots with that type of working distance.

Price is $100 US with shipping included to Canada and US, payment will be via paypal.

Currency changed to US, to make it a little better deal.

FWIW I think the dog picture is very, very good.

You can also add on a Raynox macro adapter on this lens and get extreme close-ups!

At first I thought you were selling a Sheaffer pen and a dog! Guess I should read the subject before opening the thread and going straight for the pictures. I do agree though, the photos look nice and the range on that lens would be very useful to have.
