FS: Nikon 28-70 2.8 - $600

[C.B. Lorch]

Selling our Nikon 28-70 f/2.8 AF-S lens. We used this lens on our RED One and have gone over to Canon on our Epic.

Note that the lens is being sold AS IS! We went to sell this lens to a still shooter and found out that it wouldn't even be seen by a Nikon camera body. Not sure at all what the problem is but it worked flawlessly for over a year and a half on our RED Nikon mount. I'm not sure if it's something with a contact or some solder or board internally, but optically and mechanically it works great on the RED One. Honestly I'm not sure if it ever worked when we got it, but it's out of warranty now and best idea I could get on a repair was anywhere from $250-$450 depending on the problem, but figured I'd see if there was another RED shooter who might be using it just as we did who'd rather have the discount.

Does the lens hold focus throughout the zoom range (IOW, is it parfocal)?

Thanks,

I'm not 100% sure if it meets the exact specs for being "parfocal" (if there is any) , but yes it does hold focus throughout the range I feel. Of course that's assuming backfocus is correct etc. It was never a problem for me with the RED.
