(PLEASE READ) The autofocus doesn’t usually work, but the lens takes pictures fine on manual focus. Cosmetically speaking, the outside of the barrel has moderate scratches, and the rubber on the grips are graying a little. The glass has light scratches, which have no effect on the pictures as far as I can tell. The lens comes with just a rear cap and the hood as shown. It does not include a front cap or anything else not pictured. The pictures are of the actual items you will receive. The lens will be shipped in a box carefully wrapped in bubble wrap for protection.
