[QUOTE="GeeAirMo, post: 141194, member: 13522"] After many days agonizing over spending the money for the Nikon 24-70 2.8, I decided to pull the trigger on a "Gently Used" one from Adorama. I asked the rep over the phone about the usuals...the warranty, condition and going with a Refurb unit instead. After being advised to go with a refurb from those on this forum, I called and spoke to a rep who told me that the "Used" model they had was in "Mint" condition. I decided to give it a go. I even payed a little more for shipping as I was saving some $ on the lens and I was, of course, excited! UPS delivers the lens to me this morning. I open it up with the enthusiasm of a Kid on Christmas Day! The lens looks great works just fine but then I noticed.....[ATTACH]33911._xfImport[/ATTACH] You fine people on this forum told me to go with the refurb if it was available, but this is what I got buying a used one.
