[QUOTE="fotojack, post: 13174, member: 16"] That's a great lens. You're gonna love it. On camera tests: just make sure it focuses on the money. Look for creep. Hold the camera with the lens facing down. Does the barrel stay in one spot? If it doesn't, don't buy it. Make sure there are NO scratches on ANY of the lenses, front and back. Clean the front lens properly. If there are any signs of dirt or anything inside the front lens, don't buy it. Don't worry about the speed of the focus. That's entirely dependent on the motor in the camera or the onboard motor on an AF-S lens (which this one isn't). I hope you get it for a good price. :) Let us know. [/QUOTE]
