I am selling a few of my nikon lenses to make room for a new camera. First is a mint Nikon 18-200mm VR. It is in perfect shape. I purchased it new from Adorama camera in NY about 4 months ago. It is a US market lens. Comes with front and rear caps and the lens hood, but no box. Price is 650,000.
Second is a Nikon 20mm f/2.8. It was made in Japan, bought (used) from KEH camera in Atlanta about 3 years ago. The glass is perfect. The focusing mechanism is a little loud when using autofocus, but it works perfectly regardless. Comes with front and rear caps and the HB-4 lens hood (twist on). Price is 320,000.
Last is a Nikon 70-210mm f/4. I have had this lens for about 8 years, and it is in excellent condition. These lenses were only made for about 2 years (all in Japan) and becoming harder and harder to find good ones, so I am hesitant to sell it. Comes with front and rear caps and the HN-24 lens hood (screw on). Price is 275,000 firm.

hey

your prices aren't bad. since nikon korea won't honour the warranty on your lens (bought abroad) it's equivalent to gray market.

a new 18-200mm can be got for 685,000 (gray market) ... so for your lens, mid to low 600s is a reasonable price.

the 20mm f2.8 is a great price. and it's a damn fine lens.

no offense, but the 70-210mm f4 price is a bit high. although rare, f4 isn't particularly fast and it's not a popular lens. it's billed more as a collector's lens because the optics are quite good and it's constant f4.

however they can be bought in korea for around 150,000 used and in good condition. ebay has them listed for about the same price.

if you like the 70-210mm, i'd recommend keeping it. that's a good lens and will definitely be something unusual to have in your collection.

good luck with the sales!

cheers

The price on the 18-200mm is flexible, but I am not gonna give it away. The 20mm is pretty firm, and I really don't expect to sell the 70-210 but I figured I would see what the market was like. Apparently Nikon is about to release a new 70-200 N which will be pricey, about 2k, but will replace all my long lenses so not much need to keep it around if the price is right.

The 70-210mm is off the market, but the other two are still available.
