Hate to do this, but I need the capital to fund a gear overhaul before my trip to McNeil River Falls in July.

Selling my trusted 500mm F4 AFS II lens. I have owned it for almost 3 years and it just does not see enough use for me to justify keeping it.

What is awesome is I got it serviced by Nikon in October 2015 and it has a brand new SW motor and also has a newly serviced helicoid. I can share receipts to prove the same. I have not used the lens even once after the repair. Its a real shame.

Glass is clean. Cosmetically it has a few blemishes and some paint loss as is evident from the pictures.

I spent ~ $500 on the repair and this lens would be as good as a new one and will serve you for many many years to come.

Included in the price is an Aquatech Lens Hood. I bought this brand new when I purchased the 500mm F4:

Am wondering if I priced this too high. Would appreciate any feedback.

A fellow FMer kindly pointed out that my link for pictures taken with my 500mm actually points to pics taken with the D3 and Sigma 150-500.

I have added a facebook link that contains the last pictures taken with the 500mm lens: Bald Eagles in the Skagit Valley.

The lens is packed up now, but I am happy to take it out and take some more test shots.

I unpacked the lens and took a couple of videos to demonstrate that the AFS is fast and spot-on.

Also included pictures to demonstrate the same. The picture of the stop sign is a 100% crop.

Pictures are here (full resolution): https://www.flickr.com/photos/smiling_buddha/albums/72157661002177026

Let me know if you have more questions. If you would like me to do further tests on the lens, let me know. Happy to oblige.

It would make for an awesome portrait lens, but it's min focus is at least 7-8 feet +. Very nice OOF blur though.

I have some inquiries and kind offers, but I would like to mention that I am firm on my asking price.

I don't think you will find another 500 AFSII lens with a brand new motor for the price I posted.

Even at that price I am making a huge loss, so if it does not sell then I'd rather keep it. It's a fantastic and tack sharp copy.

Thank you.
