I recently bought the new VR version of this lens which is why I am letting go of my older Nikon AF-S 24-70/2.8. The lens itself is in excellent condition. I have had it sent to the Nikon repair centre to get the rubber zoom grip replaced. Not only the rubber ring has been replaced but they also noticed some interior defects. I let Nikon do a complete overhaul on the lens (for appr. 300euros) so the next owner will get a troublefree, basically refurbished lens.
I don't think I need to introduce the lens itself. The interior has been completely serviced by Nikon, the exterior is excellent, the glass is pristine. If you have any questions please do not hesitate.
Asking 1000euros.
