Sigma 150mm F2.8 Macro - Sold! (edit 5-8-7 to clean up post)

Nikon 24-85mm F3.5-4.5 - Not for sale no'mo (changed my mind)
B+H link to new for reference

Includes front and rear caps, lens hood. (tossed the box when I bought it new from b+h a few years ago)

Lens has a flaw as pictures will show. I have no idea how it happened, just noticed it one day. Lens has never been dropped, I'm guessing I hamfisted a lens cap or something to that effect. Does not seem to have effected lens's performance in any way, but it is not cosmeticly perfect. It happened within about 3 or 4 months of purchasing it, and for all I know its some sort of defect. I just never bothered to send it in because for one, I couldn't be 100% sure I didn't manage to cause it, and secondly it didn't inhibit the lenses performance that I've ever been able to tell.

I'm selling because I bought the "D" version of this lens from DoctorIt for the extra stop (f2.8) it affords, as well as the built in macro mode. Simply haven't gotten around to selling this, but it's senseless for me to keep it, with my current setup.

Pictures taken an hour or so ago:

Note the chip in the black area next to the glass: (the flaw I mentioned)

(a ton more avail. on request, this was my every day lens for a couple years)



Filters: Not for sale (changed my mind)

4 filters total, all 67mm threads.

Tiffen CP filter: $25

Tiffen 812 Warming Filter: $15

Tiffen UV Protector: $10

Hoya NDx4 Neutral Density Filter: $25

Link to picture of filters, the lints on the shirt under them.....

The 24-85mm would be a great lens for someone needing a reliable lens to get into digital photography or a great all 'rounder for every day use in general, and following this thought, I'll sell the 24-85mm as a package with all the above filters together for $200. Great way to get into it with all the filters you'd need and then some. Willing to sell all seperately too of course.

Listed prices do not include shipping, and (on your dime) I'll ship how ever you'd like (fedex, ups, usps, packmule, etc). I'd prefere paypall but will do personal checks (item will ship once check clears, etc). I'm pretty flexable.

I'll check in often to catch any questions,
Chris
