Are there any imperfections, such as minor damage, wear due to excessive use?

The build isn't the toughest. I had to send mine in for repair initially for a build issue. The warranty is great though. I think it lasts for 6 years. However, depending on how much you use it and the kind of wear and tear you expect a more robust build may be a better choice. However, I think canon lenses at least only come with a one year warranty. Nikon may be different.

The lens that I purchased was a new one. Having said that it arrived in perfect condition and I have taken so really incredible pictures with these lens. It has become my second fav lens. Also keep checking because Tamron frequently offers rebates , I received $75. Hope this helps.

I bought it brand new but I got rid of it already and bought the Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 OS. Much better lens! Super sharp all through out the zoom range.

I've had it since May, and have just recently noticed some scratches, but no dents. The scratches are only noticeable when looking at it closely.

I have had one for over a year with no signs of wear and tear. It's a great product I expect to last many years. It is a true upgrade.

Used good may have repairs or scuff marks from heavy use and may have broken or missing parts. Very good is the type of pack I received which had only one minor repair on the back rest pad at the top and had no other wear marks and was almost in like new condition. I am very pleased with my purchase and price paid.

I haven't had any degradation, but I suspect that they aren't replaceable. I would expect to replace the whole package if one of those components wore out.

I have not had those issues with my set, but I want to point out I rarely get to use my set due to only being home occasionally. My toddler nieces enjoy them when they visit. No visible chrome scratches so far from them climbing up and down the stools. When I do use them, they never disappoint as far as performance. They look just as good today as they did upon coming out of the box.

Not at all. I use mine a lot, and I've noticed no scratches on the controller.

Depending on the use its sturdy to me. I use it moderately and nothing have been damaged.

Not at all. I have noticed that from time to time (maybe once a month) you do need to reach down and tighten the knobs but I have not noticed any damage.

Well, that all depends on your usage... I have used one of these weekly for about 5 yrs and it shows no sign of wearing out.

I've been using mine for four months and see no signs of wear or weakness. My workout is moderate, however, so if you are planning on really severe usage you might notice a difference.

I use mine 3 or 4 times a week. So far it looks and feels like brand new. Should last a long time if taken care of.

No. It is made really well. I have had mine since June and use it daily. I don't see any wear.

No defects, though you do need to be careful to thread the lid properly and tightly else it can dribble a little.

I've had mine for several years now, use it often and for long periods, and I've not had any problems. I will admit that I go out of my way to take care of my equipment and use it properly.

I've had mine for almost two years, main problem is the faux leather parts have deteriorated after the first year. I use them an average of 7 hrs per week.

I have been using it for a month or so and haven't touched it so didn't notice the problem. Maybe I should pay closer attention, but it hasn't been problematic so far (at least not noticeable).
