50-200mm non SWD back for sale. ($475 Shipped) SOLD

[dantakesphotos]

Hello everyone. Well, I sold the lens and as soon as the buyer recieved the lens, he messaged me proclaiming that the zoom was binding and the lens was unusable. I have used the lens professionally for about a year and it has taken hundreds of amazing photos. I can honestly say that when I purchased the lens from B&H brand new, its zooming-action was the same. I noticed it to be hard to pull back from 200-50mm, but always thought thats how the lens was supposed to act. Anyhow, it's going to be back up for sale.

50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 : Condition (9/10) The lens is beautiful, always capped and includes case and hood. There are a few TINY specks on the lens, and they are guaranteed to not effect picture quality. The hood has a tiny nick in the bottom of it, but it looks and works fine, caps are included. As I stated above, the lens is fairly hard to bring back to 200mm from 50mm, Im not sure how this could have been caused, as the lens was never exposed to any dirt of water. I will be willing to part with the lens, shipped to conUS for $500 $475 shipped, SOLD buyer pays paypal fees. Please, I am in a pretty tight crunch this month (but hey, who isnt?) Merry Christmas!

He's giving this lens away for only $500. I own one and yes, the lenses aren't the smoothest with the zoom, but I think it's related to the o-rings for the sealing coupled with the distance the lens travels in the zoom range. If I wanted a second one of these, this would be one I'd go for.

If I had $450, I'd buy it right now and even drive down to get it! I'm not far from you. I'm in the LA area.

Darn it, I do wish I had the $$!!

I just bought one on E-bay for $530+shipping or I would be on this like ugly on gorilla. It is stiff also. It has a slight wear mark in the area that it gets stiff in. Nothing major, just a different look to the paint. I think it might be inherent to the lens.
