Nice lens

9+ condition for a used lens, even has autofocus
Just mortgage the house and do it.

Nice lenses

Pity they are all a little bit out of my price range.

If you read the review the reviewer knocked off a few points because the lens wouldn't focus close enough for him to photograph a ring. Seriously? Who uses a 1200 mm telephoto lens for close up macro shots????

B&H Photographics is about the only thing that could tempt me into the necessary 24hours sitting in sweaty, dirty, crowded and smothering Economy to New York. B&H reminds me of HobbyCo in the 1970's, everything your heart desired but couldn't afford. The location has changed, but that's about all.
I buy all my 2nd hand lens from B&H as they describe 2nd hand lens accurately and they don't let mould covered lens filter through their stock.
