HAS AN ISSUE IN THAT THE FOCUS RING WILL NOT TURN ALL THE WAY TO 70mm AND ONLY REACHES 62mm

MODEL

Nikon DX 18-70mm f3.5-4.5G ED AF & M focus lens

 SWM Aspherical

SR No

No US2873679 

MOUNT

Nikon AF-S

(this model has a built in motor, so please check compatibility against your own camera)

CONDITION

MIXED

Additional Comments:

Bit of a strange one this, the lens is in excellent condition and works properly; with the exception that the focus ring will not turn fully to the 70mm position and only reaches 62mm, moves freely just wont go past this position. So basically it's an 18-62mm zoom lens. 

DESCRIPTION

Tested on a digital cameras, to confirm the lens is receiving Aperture & AF instructions correctly.

Optics are lovely and bright, completely clear with no fungus, haze or scratch marks.

Auto Focus mechanism is working perfectly, and it's smooth in operation.

Auto/Manual switch and operation is working correctly.

Aperture diaphragm is clean & snappy.

Images were taken on a digital Nikon and are straight from camera, unedited to provide an indicator of the lens performance at different focal lengths and aperture settings.

Includes

Lens body + Nikon rear cap

AS A SELLER

I am very particular with my own equipment, so when it comes to selling to buyers. I take the time to deep clean, sanitise and check 'EVERY' function prior to listing, I like to think they are some of the best available, and something I would be confident to give as a present, and also receive and use myself.

RETURNS

If on checking the item over, you are not 100% happy with it, I will happily refund the purchase cost & your postage, once the item has been safely returned.

UK POSTAGE

As much as I would love to use 'cheap couriers', it's proven to be unreliable in the past, plus these companies do not insure lenses & cameras against loss/damage in transit.

I only send with Royal Mail's 48hr Tracked Service.

Boxes are 'Collected' by Royal Mail, usually on a Monday/Wednesday/Friday, and will be added to the next collection booked, because of this, please factor in some extra time for delivery before purchasing, as it's never going to be the next day.

AND BEST NOT TO USE OTHER POSTAGE OPTIONS SHOWN BY EBAY, SUCH AS EXPRESS ETC, AS IT'S UNLIKELY IT WILL ARRIVE ANY QUICKER.

GLOBAL SHIPPING

Postage is through 'ebay's global postage' at ebay's set prices.

Once purchased, I post the item to ebay's central UK shipping centre, where the parcel is re addressed and forwarded to the buyer, any Import tax will be shown on the buyers ebay page and will need to be paid by the buyer.

EQUIPMENT CHECKS

Lenses are given a full health check, bodily cleaned and sanitized and then CLA'd if needed, this will involve lubricating mechanisms and the cleaning of optics.

Work carried out, and any issues found, will be described in the 'CONDITION' section above. 

Some examples of areas checked are: the body condition/printed lettering & numbering/glass optical elements/aperture diaphragm condition and movement/DOF/Pre set switch/Manual & AF switch/Auto Focus action/Confirmation of communication between the lens and the camera for setting aperture etc is working.

If possible I will include images taken with the lens on a digital camera, this is to provide an idea of performance and clarity of the optics, the images are straight from the camera and are unedited in any way.

It's worth noting that while most modern lenses rarely contain dust, it is more likely with vintage lenses because of their age and environment.

There is plenty of evidence available explaining how dust and fungus, has little, if any impact on picture quality, and in my personal experience of having used 1000's of different lenses, I can confirm this. Dust is not an issue and rarely is fungus, even in really large quantities.

CONDITION MEANINGS:

Mint

Would have to be 'as new' for me to ever use this description.

Excellent

Shows no signs of wear to the body, all functions have been tested and are working correctly.

Very Good

Body shows only slight signs of use, such as mild rub marks on chassis paint or faint cleaning marks, all tested and working.

Good

All functions tested and working but the body has some age related scuffs and wear marks, or the mechanical operation may be slightly stiff/loose, but is still totally usable.

Average/Fair

Bodily it's a bit worn, scuffed and knocked about, while it may not look its best, it is still useable.

Display

Cosmetically good but not working for the reasons stated.

Spares/Repair

Not working for the reasons stated. Ideal if you can repair or wish to use for parts.

Untested

Means condition is as the pictures show as I have not examined it. Best bought assuming it's NOT working, as then we'll both be pleasantly surprised if it does.

Additional Comments:

If there is something of note, I will add this in the condition description above.
