[QUOTE="hark, post: 380606, member: 13196"] Now that Bill received his D700, the long wait for it is finally over! :) He's been waiting to hear from me on my Nikon 20mm f/2.8 AF-D lens. So without further ado, here are some photos from it and also photos showing its condition. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]124483._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]124484._xfImport[/ATTACH] In all honesty, I don't think the lens has been used more than a dozen times, and I bought it new from B&H in March 1999. It is a US lens and the serial number starts with 'US'. It never had a front filter because I was under the impression it couldn't accept one. While looking at Nikon's web site, it says the lens accepts front screw on filters. I don't know why I was under the impression it couldn't take one. None-the-less, the front glass is flawless. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]124485._xfImport[/ATTACH] I have NOT done auto tuning of this lens on my camera. All of the images in this thread are SOOC jpegs that were only resized for the forum. Otherwise no other photo editing has been done. Below is a shot taken at f/2.8. I focused on the scorpion. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]124486._xfImport[/ATTACH] Another shot at f/2.8 (scorpion) to show its shallow DOF when working close up. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]124487._xfImport[/ATTACH] And the shot below is taken at f/8 to show the lens' sharpness. The spots in the sky are seagulls. Again, all of the images are SOOC except for resizing. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]124488._xfImport[/ATTACH] Bill, I will PM you the price--and it will be a little less than the price you mentioned. Please take your time on deciding as I won't do anything with the lens until I hear back from you. ;) [/QUOTE]
