A local store near me has a D300 with an 80-200 2.8 AF ED two ring lens. It is on consignment and the owner is asking 1.2K but will take 1K for the combo. I looked it over and here is what I found.
Body:
-Looks to be in good shape 90-95% only can find one rub spot on the bottom
-Pulled a picture and the exif data showed 1.6 million shutter actuations (Is that possible?) Seem way too high for the condition
Lens:
-Takes decent pictures from what I could see in the LCD screen zooming around.
-AF works
-The AF/MF ring is broken but still works just have to mess with it.
-Lens has some type of spotting on the internal elements(Fungus?) but doesnt seem to effect the photos from the sample pictures I took.
Here is my take. Right now I am considering this camera and sending the lens in to get worked on. The thing that scares me is that internal fungus and the shutter count. What are your opinions and what should I offer?
Thanks,
Adam
