This short zoom covers a really useful range, especially at the wide end. It is a 2-touch zoom (zoom ring separate from focus ring)and has a 55mm filter size. Max aperture is a constant f4. Closest focus is 0.5 metres/1.7 feet. Neither the lens barrel nor the glass is marked or scratched or got any fungus or insect life that I can see!

I'm only selling because I am streamlining an unwieldy collection of lenses. This comes with a rear lens cap.

Make me any offers to my e-mail address and I'll go for the best offer by the end of the month! Post will be added, purely on the basis of the actual cost. I'm based in England, but I'd be surprised if the postal costs to the US, for ecample, exceeded £4 (four pounds).

Oh yes, that is the final point! Any payment must be in sterling (UK pounds) because otherwise the banks here take a big slice of the money!

However the sale goes, all the very best wishes of the Christmas season to all fellow readers of this b'board, and a Happy New Year!

Cheers JIM
