And no fungus? Unless if its genuine and under warranty, usually it doesn't matter whether you are buying an Ori or AP lens, though for the latter you probably can nego a bit more hehe XD |

check for crack or scratch on the lens elements (normally dun have, but still give a check)
check for fungus any part break or crack on the lens barrel check the zoom ring and focus ring turn smoothly (turn yourself, make sure no clocking/blocking). bring ur body, check the lens can focus correctly check the aperture blade working if there is image stabilizer, make sure it working This post has been edited by onghy: Nov 19 2014, 08:28 AM |
