Ugly?????
Nikon Zoom-NIKKOR 17-55mm f/2.8 ED AF-S DX Lens for crop sensor ref us 432304.
includes: lens and rear lens cap only.
Here are the goods:
Optic is clean , no fungus, no haze
Aperture snappy
Auto focus works great.
Here is the not so goods:
Manual focus ring is little tight then normal, but it turnable all the range from minimum to infinity without any problem.
Zoom ring is little tight then normal, but it turnable all the range from 17 to 55mm without any problem.
Heavy worn on exterior of the lens.
Lens got internal dust specs.
Part of ring where hood mount got broken off about an inch as shown picture, i do not think you will have any problem to mount the hood.
Filter ring got crack, so i loaded an empty filter ring that will allow you to mount any filter on top of the blank filter.
Front optic may have lite scratches, but i did not effect any pictures quality.
We have took 2 sample pictures aperture priority @f2.8 at 17 then 55mm .
we price it accordingly to its condition.
Thanks
