PURHASED NEW 12/30/2025!!  I bought this lens brand new (shipped and sold by Amazon) only 3 months ago.  I also purchased the Hoya HD3 72mm UV filter at the same time ($152).  All I did was test the lens and store it in the dry cabinet. I realized I had too many lenses and have other personal expenses to cover.  My (large) loss is your gain.  Lens is cosmetically and mechanically perfect and barely used.  While it is priced higher than other used options, you have the peace of mind knowing it's barely used, was recently purchased new, and is a $550 + Tax savings over buying it and the filter brand new yourself.  Sorry, no returns as item in described condition at time of sale and is shipped insured.  My feedback speaks for itself.  ALSO! Please verify your shipping address is correct with ebay before purchasing.  I only ship to your ebay address on file and can make no exceptions.  Feel free to contact with any questions and thanks for looking!
