I've purchased this lens 2018 brand new and owned it since. Very excited to start night photography and been tried twice for starry skies, but since then I stopped shooting and it was never used until now. Finally decided to go full frameb and restart my photography - now selling all my DX lenses to help myself get all the FX that I need. The lens has always been in the bag with silica gel inside and there is absolutely no sign of any fungus, haze or whatever optical issues might arise - perfectly clear optics. The lens is practically brand new, with the only two notes - a small mark around hood bayonet - shown on pictures, and there is no lens hood. I was looking everywhere when I listed it, but can't find it unfortunately - probably lost in the very beginning when I went to try it on the night sky without the hood. They are easily obtainable if you need it.
Comes in original box with both front and rear caps.
