Me and the Wife have decided to spread a little holiday joy around the forum. For some of you, this isn't anything you haven't seen us do a few times before. For the rest, please read this post very carefully if you wish to participate. We are donating another lens, but unlike the previous donations, this lens is brand new in the box. it has only come out of the box twice. once to test on our camera, and the other time to take a picture of it for this post. we realize this is not exactly a pro lens, but it does perform fairly well. AF is pretty snappy, and it is brand new. We hope that any negative comments will be kept off of here, as we would like this to be a positive experience for everyone involved so we can do it again. (I have some other lenses coming that i was thinking of donating as well)
this is a Tamron AF 55-200mm DiII f/4-5.6 LD macro (Nikon mount)
(DiII means it was designed for DX format) 52mm filter size
this lens is Nikon AF-D style so it DOES NOT have its own focus motor.
NEW in box with front and rear lens cap, lens hood, and accompanying paperwork.
You all know how this works at this point. (I hope)
we are DONATING this lens. It is FREE to a good/needy home, and is sent AS-IS with no guarantee or warranty, written or implied of ANY kind. we will pay shipping. continental U.S ONLY.
the criteria for getting the lens is as follows:
1: you NEED this lens, meaning you DO NOT already have this focal range or reasonably close. (my call)
(having another brand and saying you don't like it doesn't count)
2: you already have a camera capable of mounting this lens (no putting the cart before the horse)
3: you live in the continental united states (im a stickler on this one, sorry)
4: you have been a member of the forum for more than 2 months. (and been a reasonably active member of the TPF community)
(ALL rules are at me and my wife's discretion. we reserve the right to change the criteria at ANY time for ANY dumb old reason)
i will let this thread run for a week or so. If you are interested in the lens, post on THIS THREAD with your intentions for the lens,an honest gear list, and why you believe you need the lens. PM's or emails may or may not get considered.
thank you all.
