Used lens in reasonable optical condition and overall appearance.

The exterior is in very good condition, with a few light marks of a purely cosmetic nature.

The front element is in a somewhat degraded condition. Small impact traces and a minor mark with no effect on image capture are visible on the front element. Damage to the front element can create flare in circumstances where bright light falls directly onto the front lens, but we did not note any adverse performance during our quality control tests.

While there is always some dust inside any used lens, this lens is exceptionally clean, with virtually imperceptible internal dust.

The focusing and zoom rings turn smoothly and with no play.

Auto-focus and stabilisation work perfectly.

This lens was manufactured in December 2023. Accordingly, this is a relatively young copy of this model, which has been in manufacturing since 2019.

Sold with the front and rear caps, the sun hood, the soft pouch and the original box.
