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.....
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.
I just sent it back today to adorama in exchange for the Refurbished unit I should have ordered in the first place.
Guess I have learned my lesson!
