This lens is in MINT condition for its age. It has been stored in a hard leather case for the past 15 years and hardly ever used. The glass and the body are nearly flawless. Only reason I'm selling is because I have a Minolta 50 1.4 that I like better, and I don't really see myself using the macro tube very often.

I'm asking $160 shipped for the extension tube and the lens. Paypal or local pickup only (I'm in CT until Monday then I'm moving to So. VT). Buyer sends payment as a gift or covers paypal fees (check my feedback if you question my legitimacy).

The extension tube makes the focusing distance about 2-3 inches. Here's an example of the magnification with the macro tube and the lens on my GH2:

DO WANT! Any sample shots from a digi body? Only ones I've found are film cameras, so its hard to tell how sharp its gonna perform on my 60d with an adapter.

I hardly ever take pictures, I am mostly into video, so I don't have any sample photos with it. But like p.hawks said, the first picture was taken on a digital body with a 2x crop. So on your 60D it won't be as tight but will be equally as sharp. Eheath knows a lot about nikon glass, so you can take his word for it that this is a tack sharp lens.

This is really tempting, I'm just short on cash, and I don't think i'd sell my canon 1.8 to fund this. I'd probably run with both, sometimes I need the autofocus.
