FA*24/2 for sale

As below - after £400 to me (ie plus postage).

Am consolidating my lens collection, and am going to replace my beloved FA*24 with the Tamron 17-50 to help towards the FA77...

It is in what I would call very good used condition - there are some very small marks on the body of the lens, and a small amount of rubbing on the silver finish (eg at the edges of the lens hood).

However, the optics are in perfect condition, with the least dust I have ever seen on a 2nd hand lens, and literally zero fungus/decentring/aperture etc problems. There are also no problems with the (very useful) AF/MF clutch, which I have read about.

I am more than welcome to take close up, full res photos of any part of the lens if people ask.

Comes with original hood, lens cap, and rear cap. Annoyingly I can't find the original box, but (of course) it will come well packaged by RMSD. Also available to pickup from me in the SP9 postcode area.

Really? I thought you like this one...
I'd rather sell the Tamron 17-50 (you can rebuy it later on) and keep the FA*24. Good copies don't come around too often. Besides, I'll kind of miss your presence in FA* club over at PF

I love it! However, am trying to save for a DA15 and FA77 to bookend a 17-50/2.8 in a rationalised lens collection...

Any offers?

Great flare resistance too, along with incredible sharpness:
