How long have you owned the lens? Are you the original owner? Has it ever been dropped?

Hi,I am selling this lens for my friend who is a photographer. He was the only owner. It is in excellent condition and it has never been dropped. The lens I am selling is the Tamron SP AF 35-105mm F/2.8 aspherical lens (I mentioned that on my listing). It has the original box and cases.Ron RitzerMillburn Philately LLC

I've had this lens I'm guessing around 8 months. It's one that I had rented a couple of times before. It's an extremely sharp lens and I've learned to love it for the money. I have never dropped it sobi can't speak to its durability. I will tell you that I've had several Tamron lenses and never had any problems with any if them.

Brandon. It doesn't say when you asked this question but I figured the answer out. First, I just purchased the last one that a storefront had for $289, so i'm sorry if I stole the lens from you :X. Second, the price is going to be interesting on this lens from here on out. It has been discontinued due to a recently announced new model. The question is how much will this new model cost? To my knowledge that hasn't been answered. I decided to snag it at this price because if the new model is upwards of $400 then it out of my price range anyway. If the new model comes out sub $400 this older model might tank in price. Supply and demand will dictate based on that information. As for big stores, I don't see you having much luck. Most did firesales and liquidated their stock already to mitigate the price risk. I can tell you that this is my first fixed lens for general photography. It hasnt even arrived yet, but when it does I plan to test it out. If its not to my liking I can resell it to you at the price I purchased + the tax I paid + shipping. I would generally just return it but that lowers your chance of it ending up in your hands. If this was a recent post just come back to me and I can show you proof that it hasn't even arrived yet :). Take care!

Like all the other answers, it is an original Samsung lens but I'm not sure of the warranty.

Thanks for the testimony. "owned"? As in you no longer own.Just curious...: What caused you to give up the camera?

I am looking to purchase a Canon SD750 with the black lens that has NO physical damage. I have a lot of scratches on my camera and works great... it's just that I want it to look "newer". So if you are willing to sell it, let me know and we'll work something out. Thanks! :)

Yeah the exact same thing happen to me. I hope the lens it's stuck to is not too expensive. Cause the way I chose to remove it was by forcefully twisting it off. If it's a cheap kit lens a little plastic piece will break off. But the lens will work just fine. It won't destroy it, just modify it a little.

Hi Christy, I am firm on the price. I am having a hard time parting with this lens. -- Ralph

Thanks for coming back to respond. I was wondering what actually shipped with the lens.

Mine got bent and now opens partially then I open it with my finger. Took it to canon and they said it's not covered. Couldn't repair it either b/c lens cap is part of the entire lens. Offered me a refurb for 550. I said no thanks. Still using it but it's a pain.

Mine has been in and out of its case hundreds of times and there are no signs of any scratches. You would have to rub it really hard against something abrasive to damage it, certainly not the inner lining of a camera case. Bottom line, if you do manage to scratch it, can you can always replace it - not too sure about replacing a lens!

Honestly, there are some available on ebay with buyer protection (but I understand why you would want to get it from the above places instead). The 70-200mm is a great lens, but if you have your heart set on this particular lens you should wait to get this one :)I just ordered one from ebay but I did my research on the seller first.

After nearly 2 years with my copy it's fine too. I do have a pretty large speck of dust in the front element but it doesn't affect anything. You have to keep in mind that dust in the front of the lens does not affect image quality so it's a non-issue. Certainly should not be a factor in the buying process as the lens has some amazing strengths.

I don't touch it. I use only a mount lenses. So I never take it off. Never had a problem.

It opens and closes fine but I received a message saying "the camera has been dropped" once or twice a day. I took the lens off and a year ago and have not received that message since. I had multiple problems with the lens on my RX100.

I am not an avid photographer. I am using the camera for outdoor shots mostly. I have had this camera for almost a year and have had no major problems from drops. I would avoid potential problems with it for rockclimbing for example. Otherwise, fine.

May I ask what lens you went with? I am debating the same issue. Thank you.
