I really would like this lens but cannot afford new. Is there any warrenty if you buy used? How do you know...,?

Hi Patti, it depends on how old the used lens is. I think canons warranty is for a year and you wouod need to make sure that you got the relevant documents from the person you are buying from. If you purchase a second hand lens from a reputable dealer such as MPB Photographic (in the UK), then they should be able to offer you an extended warranty for a set amount of years at a fixed price. Otherwise, check with your household insurer.

I am not sure how you would "know" without believing it is as it is stated. I would say you should look locally to you. Visit reputable shops. Try it before you buy it! National Camera Exchange would warrant a sale of used gear. So would others. If the seller is a reputable dealer or good ratings and a return policy I would give it a try. The 70-200 f2.8 is a sweet lense! I love mine and could sell it now for more than I paid new for it!

1 year warranty even if used, as long as seller provides receipt for warranty purposes

Yes, of course. Since this is a very high quality lens, it would be very unlikely that you will have to use the warranty. As a matter of fact, I bought and used many of the expensive Nikon lens during the last ten years, I have not yet sent any of them for repair.

I used a Square Trade Warranty for my Canon ($19.95 for three years) and they promptly paid over what the camera is even worth today. I didn't have the so-called lens error, it just wouldn't hold a charge after a year or so. The warranty can be found with all sorts of special deals (percentages off, etc). They DO pay into your PayPal account if that's a problem. I was surprised at how professionally they handled it.

I no longer have the lens.That said, I suggest that you test it thoroughly within the 30 day return window. This lens is not cheap.

Yes, this one is a new lens and the seller is very courteous and responsive. Regarding warranty, I thankfully haven't had a situation to get into those conversations.

Nikon serviced/refurbished lenses come with a 90 day Nikon warranty . My lens is indistinguishable from new except for the fact that it came in a brown box with a white label stating it was a Nikon "refurbished "lens..

I do not recall, and do not have it at-hand. I can tell you that I have not needed a warranty -- the lens works perfectly and functions as-new. :)

The lens is imported from overseas, so it is not eligible for Nikon warranty or rebates. There is no difference in the item itself. You can purchase a 3rd party warranty for pretty cheap though.

The lens looked new, did not appear to be used. The condition of its packaging was what one expect for a returned item. The Box was beat up and torn and not all information materials were included. I have used the lens for several months now and had no problems. It is a superior lens to the original lens that came with my D40.

Hi, thanks for your question. I'm sorry that you were charged more than you thought you would pay for the lens. In this situation, I'd suggest contacting our Customer Service Team directly as they will be able to see your order and if it was ordered from a seller or directly from Amazon.com. Here's a link to our Contact Us page:

Hi Louis, mine was fine and had a American Warranty. The lens however is a novelty lens, not the highest quality, thus the low price. It's great for some stuff but not crisp. I later bought a Pentax 12-24mm Ultra Wide that was about $700. Love it. But the 10-17 is a fisheye with all the benefits a fisheye gives ya.

"very good" might have scratches on the frame or very neglible scratches on the glass. "Like new" is open packaged and seldom use. This is how I would distinguish between the two. Try to see if the rotation is very smooth and the thin film on the lens is entacted.

if the lens is not around the $10,499 range then you need to ask the question. I purchased my lens from amazon. It was not a second, and no complaints.

Get yourself a new D40 and lens for around $400.00. Sometimes used can be unreliable.

Hi I'm just wondering. Does this lens come with a warranty if I buy it off Amazon? Sorry, am new here.
