I purchased this lens new from B&H Photo in June of 2007. It is very sharp, well cared for, and in flawless condition save for a few scuffs on the hood (worse one shown in photo). Since it was new it has had a B+W F-Pro UV Haze filter (67mm) on it. This filter is included in the sale, as is shipping to anywhere in the USA.
