Hi all
I'm looking for a deal on a Nikon 28-70mm 2.8 lens to pair with my new D3. I'm trying to find one second hand to get a bit of a bargain.
I may have found one, from a UK based shop that you can order online from. Problem is it's listed as "as seen" and comes with no guarantee. All other items/ lenses on the site have the usual 'mint', 'exc' etc ratings. It's described as boxed but missing the rubber zoom ring and having a small mark on the rear element.
It's listed as £500. Brand new this beast still retails for about £1000 in the UK, but can get from Hong Kong for around £750
The fact it's an actual shop means I'd be covered by the distance selling regulations act doesn't it, so if I wasn't happy with it I could return it.
What do people think, too knackered, too much of a risk???
