Yep, I queried the seller about that little bit of ambiguity - that was
the answer I got.
I haven't asked yet because I'm still tossing up between a 65-200 and a
85-250 :-p. The latter is probably the more sensible to get, as it
complements the current range (24, 50) I have, but the former is
smaller, cheaper and has a close focus setting.

The seller says:

"The optics of the lens are absolutely clean: NO
fungus, NO scratches, NO dust. (Cleaning recommended)"


How does this go together: Absolutely clean and
cleaning recommended???

Plus there is the issue you report... I would refrain
from bidding on this one. You sure will find another
one that is unambigous. Why not ask the list members
for one?

kind greetings,
Thomas
