For sale: Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 EX APO IF HSM (non-DG) Nikon Mount
Lens is in MINT condition. Glass is perfect. SN 30104xx
I recently sent to Sigma to replace a chip/board (under warranty). Returned better than new.
AF is FAAAssst & spot on. (HSM is Sigma's version of Nikon's AF-S)
Excellent image quality.
Includes EVERYTHING that came in the original purchase:
documentation, boxes, paperwork AND CASE.
~4 yr MACK warranty included (good around the globe) that can be completed online.
Tested and known to work perfectly w/D70, D100, D1x, D1h, D2h and likely with the D2x.
Reason for sale: I "just" purchased the Nikon 70-200 for the VR capability. When I receive the VR, I will do a comparison (if this Sigma is still in my possession)

Somoene who inquired about this lens mentioned that he was emailed these INDENTICAL images when he inquired about another Sigma 70-200. (I do not know where he saw the "other" listing but it was very likely a scam)
However I can assure you that the images posted above are of MY lens and this is a legitimate offer.
I have perfect ebay feedback and two positive transactions mentioned on FM.
Bump for pics and SN 30104xx
When you mention the upgrade I am not sure if you are referring to the Nikon VR 70-200 or the simple chip upgrade.
Anyway to clarify what was done to this lens:
1 When I first purchased the lens, I had the chip upgraded so that it would work properly with the D100. (in low-light, the AF would occassionally lock-up. This lock-up could be quickly remedied by turning the camera off and then back on)
However the permanent solution was to upgrade the chip. (a FREE painless replacement by Sigma)
2 About two months ago the AF was not focusing properly at the longer focal lengths. I shipped to Sigma (again a free painless return) and they replaced the board/chip. (as stated on the paperwork)
