I have been on DVXUser since 2004 and have bought and sold a few items here with no issues. Selling my Nikon all purpose lens, I need to re-allocate the money I have tied up in this lens into other lenses. I know, its a sickness.
Pristine condition, lens has only been used a few times, low stress, kids soccer games, one road trip. I really take good care of my gear and baby it. Lens has always had a UV filter mounted. Includes front and rear caps, lens hood and I think I might have the instructions and original box. *Update* I looked and I DO NOT have the box or instructions, I was mistaken, the box and manual I saw was for another one of my Nikon lenses...sorry*
The 18-200 is the lens to get if you own a Nikon DX digital camera (D40, D50, D60, D70, D80, D100, D200, D300, D5000, etc.) It basically goes from pretty wide to pretty long focal length in a single lens and features Nikons excellent VR vibration reduction system. This is the ultimate travel lens, the VR buys you a claimed extra four stops allowing the lens to be used handheld at shutter speeds that would cause blur on a non VR lens. It is a very useful all purpose lens and is great for users who don't like contaminating the insides of their cameras with dust and particulate because once this lens is mounted, you really shouldn't need to change lenses too often.
Here is what Ken Rockwell says about this lens http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/18200.htm
Disclaimers:
Do not use this lens on a full frame camera like the D700, D3 or D3X, it will work with down resolution but the lens is really designed for DX cameras. Like 98% of copies of this model lens, the lens does creep when carried in a downward facing position. Not a defect and Nikon won't fix it because there isn't a fix. You can carry it with your hand on the zoom ring like I do or there are rubber band tricks to keep it from creeping, it's not really a huge deal. Or just carry it around your neck fully zoomed in.
I originally paid $850.00 for it two years ago when they were impossible to get. You can buy a new one today for $699.00 from B&H and they sell for between $600.00 to $700.00 on Ebay.
$525.00 firm, buyer pays shipping and insurance or prefer local cash deal in LA. Can take a personal or business check but lens will not ship until check clears, would prefer cash. I guess we could do PayPal but buyer pays PayPal fees.
