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.

I know I have little feedback here, but I have 100% positive feed back on eBay - username "ucl_rob"

Have a look for the Metz 45CL-1 (not the CT-1 as some of those have trigger voltages which can fry DSLRs). Plenty of power, has a bounce/swivel head, and can be found used for £30. Might need a new battery pack but mine seems ok so far on the original Nicads (included a charger). They also made diffuser and telephoto attachments, the diffuser essentially being a pale plastic panel and bracket which bounce the flash forwards after you point it upward.
Agreed (I've got two), but if you need even more the Metz 60 is like a cheap portable sun...Have a look for the Metz 45CL-1 (not the CT-1 as some of those have trigger voltages which can fry DSLRs).

Would £200 including P&P interest you?
