Well...I bought this from a fellow Nikonian /FM'er a couple of months ago. I really want to love this lens, but the reality is that I am not tripod shooting enough to justify keeping it. I'm shooting from my kayak almost exclusively, and obviously...this lens is just too big for that.
It's about as clean as you are going to find. I'm sure there is some dust inside (as there almost always is in these super-telephoto lenses with drop-in filters), but...I can't see any.
Comes with the case and all original accessories. Also includes the drop-in c-pl, which is expensive and hard to find.
I paid $2500 shipped, and that's what I would like.
Pictures are to follow, and questions are welcome.
Be sure this is what you want...it's a beast...but fast, sharp, and razor sharp by f5.
Lots of sales, and purchases, on FM, and the auction site (jbsar55).
