This is a new unused lens in its original box with accessories. It has not been taken out of the box. It was purchased at John Lewis on 27 December 2016 and as such has a 2 year warranty. I have claimed the cash back and completed the Nikon warranty but have decided that I don't need it. They generally sell retail in the UK for over £800 and the cash back is £75 so in total over £750.
