Description

Please read the description carefully and examine photographs, particularly photograph number one.

The lens has a fault and is being sold as requiring repair.

Physical damage: A section of the rear of the filter assembly has broken off, as shown in the photographs. Despite this, the lens still accepts 82mm filters. The damage has not prevented me from using the lens, but I have not had it professionally inspected, so I cannot confirm whether there is any further damage or what repair would involve.

Some additional information about its condition:

I have used this lens regularly for landscape photography over the past couple of years. I have A3+ size prints hanging in my house that were made with this lens since the damage was done.

More recently, I used it for a photography assignment at a local football club fundraiser, photographing models for a slideshow at the end of a short film.

The glass is in good condition, with no scratches or damage and the lens is fully functional. I just obviously can't sell it at full price given the fault.

Autofocus has continued to function normally during my use.

I would happily continue to use this lens except I'm changing system.

I have the lens caps, but unfortunately I can't find the box and I suspect the lens hood is also in the box.

I have not obtained a formal repair quotation, so the eventual repair cost is unknown. Buyers should factor this into their offer.

Priced accordingly at €250. Ideal for someone with the knowledge to diagnose and repair it, or who is happy to take on a repair project.

Sold as seen, with the fault fully disclosed.

I'm a genuine seller, I'm not trying to screw anyone over so people are welcome to inspect the lens and walk away.

Happy to answer anybody's questions to the best of my ability and with complete honesty.

Strictly collection only as potential buyers will need to inspect this lens before committing to a purchase.
