Older Metz Flashes
This flash was billed as I-ttl, giving the false impression that it will work with current cameras. It was new, not used. Flash had to be shipped to factory for firmware upgrade just to work with a D200. It is not compatible with current Nikon technology. Eg: D3, D700, or D300 cameras. Nothing was in the description to that effect. I would be wary of another purchase from Calumet camera (a huge corporation) through Ebay.

Great foul weather lens.
1 of 1 found this helpful I have bought this lens several times as it sells for a song, it was a kit lens with the N65, N75 film cameras, and the camera and lens can sell for as little as $20 used, I usually just resell the body for what I paid and keep the lens. Nikon really knew what they were doing when they designed this lens, it is amazingly sharp, but it has poor build quality as it is all plastic, do not attempt to pick up your camera by this lens, I broke two of them by doing just that, it is a good moderate zoom that is very light that is well suited for foul weather, when you don't want to take a 24-80 2.8 out into the rain. I like to use it for street photography and it takes excellent pictures.

The Perfect Lens For Event Photography.
I purchased two of these lenses for event photography, hands down can't be beat, sharp and close focusing great all-around lens, if you shoot events then this lens is for you. Its a shame it doesn't have a better build as it's mostly plastic, so don't be picking up your camera by the lens. But its a great all around lens, and at today's prices even better than what it sold for used just a couple of years ago.
