Reasonable price for a good lens

Is it the 2 touch one?
If so, for $350 more, and if I can afford it, I would still prefer to buy new. Kept and maintained well over the years, this extra $350 would amount to only a few dollars a month. Maybe it's me, but I prefer my things new leh. :sweat:
Still unsure if the previous owner has mistreated it or not (UNLESS u know the seller well). Exterior wise is only superficial, what matters in under the hood. No dust in the lens doesn't mean that it was seldom used. Could have just been thru cleaning. :dunno:
I had a nerve wrecking experience buying an expensive lens 2nd hand, only to find that there is something wrong with the SWM and AF-S! :sweat: Luckily for me, the seller is a gentleman and honoured our verbal agreement and refunded me in full.:thumbsup:

The price is good, check the quality of the glass first before commiting.
