The glass is clean both ends, no fungus,Af and VR works as it should, there is a small crack on the outer plastic filter ring on the front as shown in the photo, which has been descretely epoxied, and makes no difference in operation, apart from the close up cosmetic view it is irrelevant, there is a pig iron multicoated filter on the front which has been on since i had it, the lens has had very little use by me, as I bought the FL version shortly after, highly rated by Ken Rockwell. It comes in an 'as new'  Lowe pro street and field series 200 lens excange case, (the exchange series has a concertina partition inside to quickly pull one out and drop one in its place)
