Fully tested and working , sample shots below show real results from this exact lens. Distant detail (center) , 100% crops. Wide-open background blur / subject isolation. Backlight: flare & contrast , light at edge (ghosting/sunstars).
This lens was inspected before listing, and the following were confirmed: no haze, no fungus, no strong scratches, and no balsam separation; no oil on the aperture blades; autofocus (AF-S) and aperture all operate properly; the lens passed a functional test on a camera body before listing.
Minor dust or very light cleaning marks may be present , these do not affect normal photography and are not treated as defects.
Optical design. Inspected, tested, and working well overall. This is a used lens with an older optical design, so sample photos show typical performance for this model , not brand-new, edge-to-edge sharpness. Fine pixel-level softness, mild corner softness wide open, and slight vignetting or color fringing are normal for this lens type, not defects. If you need perfectly sharp 100%-zoom performance, this copy may not be the right fit.
Focus & AF. AF has been tested on a camera and works correctly. If focus ever feels off, it's often a camera-side setting (AF mode, MF/AF switch, focus area, shutter speed). Message us first , we're glad to help you check the settings step by step before opening a return request.
Corner sharpness. Like most lenses of this type, corners can be softer wide open (lowest f-number). For sharper corners, shoot around f/5.6–f/8. This is normal optical behavior, not a defect of this copy.
