This is a great telephoto lens and the best value for beginning astrophotography. I attached four images from the intro page of Astrobin.com to show its capability. The lens is in near mint condition and for the price, it is unbeatable. The optics are pristine, with two ED elements, covering a full frame sensor. Lens shade (not pictured) and manual are included. I can add a brand new hard case for an extra $25.
