Depend on the buyer. Certain buyer don't mind cosmetic while some will. For RM50 more, better get the one which is better cosmetically as you can sell it later at a better price later.

85mm 1.8g 2nd hand for rm1000? why u still talking? go grab it

ya, most used ones i see rm1.1k or so...even then also hardly ppl sell.
rm1k already good...gold wording only if u fussy la...but later u want to sell off at rm1k also no prob.

Before doing any of that, ask the seller for the serial number. Call up Nikon to see if there's any prior repair done to the lens or anything.

1.) Bring a torchlight (bright white light) to check for FUNGUS and dust when open the aperture blade.
2.) Smooth mechanical function of the aperture blade (open and close smoothly), no grease marks/leakages
3.) Check focus ring, smooth when turning or not.
4.) Yeah, front and back elements coating (got scratch or not)
5.) Focusing mechanism (sound, accuracy)
6.) Check images from shots (check for backfocusing, observe can focus accurately on the subject that you point with focus point, increase/decrease aperture to check bokeh/ depth of field)
7.) Check exterior (any dented part around metal mounting and lens body, metal connector pins etc)
8.) Request purchasing receipt and most importantly warranty card (looks like a nikon paper with serial code)

Don't hesitate anymore, good deals wait for no man...if you are okay with topping up RM50 for a better gold wording (which is more presentable, at lease can know owner has taken good care of it)

Sharing some experience from newbie. Cheers

Wow, the gold words can fade so easily? Owner must be holding there a lot, or poor quality ._.

If not mistaken, that whole part can be replaced by Nikon. But price quite expensive, definitely more than RM50.

i always suspect ppl who sell lenses basically by itself only.
considering the 85mm 1.8G only came out in malaysia about 6-7 months ago...there is no real reason to *lose* everything else.

and that probably explains why got no box etc...
sure can repair...but like i said...the lens barely 6-7 months in malaysia...means any other used one u find will have warranty remaining still.
so why pay for any repair when can claim warranty?

Nikon covers international warranty. Is that true? That means the lens that I buy from U.S will be covered? but why got the existence of grey set?

Bro, use spoilter for huge photo ><.

In order to check aperture blades, at the lens mounting there, you will find a small piece of plastic appearing from a hole beside the metal connector pins....just move it and check. it is a switch where you need it to wide open your aperture hole and check for fungus.

I need some advice on the lightroom v4.3.
Recently I feel the advantages of RAW (aka .NEF format) file for editing.
Normally the photo preview in the lightroom is more rich in colour right? then soon after it finish loading, the colour became dull, less saturate,less contrast, etc...

What I see is what I get (which is dull)? or the DSLR one is the real one?
I was being told that RAW files are like that one (dull), which good for editing.

I also being told we can load back the rich colour data back to the RAW file after we export it as JPEG directly in lightroom without editting, but it doesn't happen like what I think. It is same as the dull photo i view from lightroom.

So, If I like the photo straight out from camera (&lazy edit bunch of photos just to make the photo looks more colourful), how to put back the colour coding and export as JPEG? 

Sure will drop
That's the way technology works 

Get the DX since you're on DX. Unless you planning to go for the bigger bomb... the f/1.4G.

erm i got question regarding sd card , is there any partiular brand i should buy , or i just aim for the cheapest with high speed like a sandisk 32gb with 10 speed ? i am curious because i bought my panasonic 8gb 6 speed quite expensive than the sandisk . please help .

I am slow learner haha 
I had problems when I 1st got the 50mm f1.8 since I wasn't very good at controlling apertures
