Min100-300 APO

I am listing a 100-300APO at a reduced price.

Minolta 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 APO
Condition:
This is a great little tele-zoom; extremely compact and yet with big APO performance. This is not the "D" version, but optics are identical.
This lens has a bit of dust, but no more than many of my other lenses, and certainly not enough to affect image quality in any way. Without a flashlight you can probably see 5-10 specs. No scratches, fungus, crud etc. Exterior is very clean with almost no marks at all. No discoloration of rubber. Focus and zoom rings are smooth. Blades are snappy. Comes with original front and rear caps and original hood. I'm also including a Marumi MC-UV filter free of charge. No box or papers.

Price:
I will offer this lens to dyxum members for the discounted price of US$225 plus shipping and 2% (half of the paypal fee)

Payment:
Payment accepted by paypal in US$. My account is the email address shown in my profile. I do not intend to accept any offers for higher prices. I will sell to the first person who is prepared to make payment but please get my confirmation before sending any money.

Shipping:
I am in Tokyo, Japan and can ship to anywhere in the world by Japanese Postal EMS. It is very efficient and will arrive practically anywhere within 1 week. You can also track shipment online. Insurance is optional but I must stress that I am only responsible for the condition of the lenses up until the moment when I hand the package to the clerk at my local post office. Fortunately insurance is very reasonable with EMS. Initial postage includes coverage for up to 20,000 yen or about $220. Additional insurance costs $0.50 per 20,000 yen of additional coverage. Shipping costs are as follows:

Minolta 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 APO
Asia:   $19
Oceania, North and Central America, Middle East:   $24
Europe:   $29
South America and Africa:   $36

To calculate final price; add lens price and shipping price (and insurance if you want it). Then add 2%.

As for markings on the package, I usually mark the contents as "used camera lens" and check the "gift" box. If your country charges import duties or taxes, you the buyer will be responsible for those costs.

Upon receipt of payment in full by paypal and a valid shipping address I will promptly and carefully pack up the lens and take it to my local post office. There I will take a picture of the package with the postage on it and email it to you along with a scan of the postal receipt. I will also include instructions for online tracking of your package in that email.

Communication:
If you are interested in buying either of these lenses please contact me by email at the address shown in my profile. I will try to respond to each inquiry in the order received. You can send PMs to get my attention but please send email as well and if there are multiple inquiries, I will prioritize them by the order in which the email was received.

Now for some pics:
