This is a solid lens but after buying a variety of hefty zoom lenses and always leaving them in my bag, I've accepted that simply a prime guy at heart.
Cosmetically it's got light signs of use but generally good. The optics are great, with only light internal dust and a few tiny marks/hairline scratches on the front element, too small to affect image quality. Aperture is smooth and snappy in both A and manual positions, no sign of oil etc on the blades. Autofocus is fast and accurate in both phase detect and live view. Sharpness is good, not the razor-sharpness of a good prime but decent at every combination of focal length and aperture. A workhorse rather than a thoroughbred.
Comes with non-original front and rear caps and the Tamron DA09 hood (which is a rather snug fit!)
Price for you guys is £150 including insured delivery (or collect from Liverpool for a tenner less if you're nearby!).
