We check all our lenses before they get listed. Exceptions are noted in the description. We believe our customers should not be surprised. We check the cosmetic, optical and mechanical condition. Most of our lenses come with both caps. Here is a list of sample checks we perform before listing a lens:
- check for oil, fungus and mold
- check aperture and zoom controls are working
- clean the lens mount
- note any major scratches or imperfections on the glass
- replace missing caps if available
Customers are responsible for lens compatibility with their cameras. Please check the internet or email us if you are unsure of compatibility. See our Q&A on lenses.
This is a classic mechanic manual focus lens. It will not auto focus on any camera, including the Nikon digital cameras.
Pictures are of the actual lens.
GOOD: A lens rated as GOOD is used but still in good condition. Wear marks are visible, but not excessive, and as expected in an old lens. Controls are smooth and aperture blades are free of oil. There may be some minor dusts inside the glass but they do not affect picture quality.
