This great lens has been in my care since I bought it and is mint. I am a scientist and care for my equipment. The photos show the like new condition of the lens. I am including a HOYA 58mm filter that I use for protection. This is in the original box with original paper work. Also, I am showing a few images I took with this lens - so sharp and fast! I loved using it. It spent most of its life on a shelf as it was never my workhorse lens. I guess it saw use perhaps 20 times. I am shutting down my studio work and someone is going to get great equipment!
