Made in Japan version, low serial number, well cared for. Excellent condition optically, functionally and aesthetically, but has a very minuscule scratch on lens cap. Original box, paper work and leather pouch included. It's difficult to part with this excellent lens, but I'm selling to finance a 24-70/2.8 which will be more versatile for photographing my small fast moving children! Email me if you want higher resolution photos of the lense, or sample photos I've taken, or if you want any more details.
