I bought this as an experiment and used it for a 36-exposure test roll over a week or so but never warmed to the feel of it, strongly preferring my 75-150 Series E (not for sale!) for the way I use a 35mm SLR. 35mm is my least-used format so I've decided I'll probably never use this and would like to find it a new home.
The lens operates smoothly and is clean and clear, showing little sign of use and only a few internal dust specs. Close focus at any focal length is 2 meters (about 6.5 feet) but when set to 100mm focal length it becomes a mild macro-zoom that will focus to 0.71 meter (about 2 feet 4 inches). It takes 62mm filters and comes with a Nikon rear cap and a generic snap-on front cap. The reflections are of trees and sky outside my living-room window and are colored by the coatings, while the dust is a common feature of my house accentuated by the iPhone's image processing algorithms.
Asking $90 shipped in the US. PayPal G&S is fine.
I also have a very nice B+W 62mm-67mm step-up ring that you can have for an additional $12 (it currently lists for $31.78 at B+H).
