I've decided to sell this lens, difficult to do because its given me some great images but i think for my needs i would be happier with some primes and a zoom with IS for video.. i've had this lens for almost a year , purchased from BandH in may or june of 2014..the glass gets a 9.5 out of 10 only because its not brand new ,, in my opinion only something thats brand new, never been used, untouched can be a 10,,But i am unable to see any blemishes, scratches etc on either sides of the lens , the glass is in like new condition..
The body is in very good condition , it has little tiny specks of dust in the zoom and focus rings that will not go way no matter how many times i wipe it down, but i think that is typical for anything used, otherewise no major scratches or damages, lens has never been dropped ,, the only marks are on the lens hood / there are two soft marks
sale includes lens, both caps, hood , box ,warranty card and pamphlet, carrying case, and a cheap tiffen uv filter i bought for it because i thought i needed it to complete the weather sealing.
i've tried to be as detailed as i can about the condition of this lens.
