SOLD

Thanks for looking.




So I've got this Sigma 18-200. The OS (VR, optical stabilization) works, and there's really nothing wrong with it except its a bit stiff when zooming from 50-135. When going from 200-18, no stiffness. I kinda got used to it. Always had a UV filter on it so the front of the lens was protected. UV filter will come with the camera, but you might want to replace it. Includes lens caps and hood.


So, nothing really wrong with the lense other than the previously mentioned stiffness. There's not a lot of external wear and tear. Only used for maybe 8,000 shots.

But see, its a budget, consumer level super zoom, and they are great for flexiblity, but I have two bodies anyway, and I started discovering the pro-quality glass offered by Nikon. I used the lens up till I got a 24-70 2.8, and thus, I've got coverage all the way from 10-400mm, and I don't need this lens any more. I can have the whole range pretty much thanks to having two bodies to shoot with, and its all faster glass that I've got.


So here's this little lens. Born in a factory in Japan, it was soon to find itself blasting away in exotic China. Then it was whisked to Japan to revisit its country of birth, and taken from Tokyo, Nagasaki, Hiroshima, and many other places. Finally, it returned to the USA where it was used now and again until finally, the 24-70 was purchased. Now it finds itself sleeping with the flees and hoping someone will rescue it.


Now, I'll sell this lens for only $200, plus shipping.

Below are some photos taken with this lens. I'll put up phtos of the lens, as well as any others that people request in a bit.


Photos below have pretty much minimal processing as near as I can remember. Taken with D300 or D70
