Why is that? I would intuitively feel the opposite. More likely to be cheated by individuals than a company.

A lot of photographers will tell you its better to buy a used (not refurb) lens than it is to buy a refurbished one ie some of the top photographers on YouTube. But if you're okay with the gamble, it's an excellent deal and I personally love the lens.. got ours at full retail. :/

I used it in Tennessee with zero issues whatsoever including animal shots at a very long distance.

I love this lens, use it on my d3300 with 0 issues. Focus is really fast and on point, almost completely silent when focusing.

Does this work with D3100?

Ok, so what am I missing? They look to be $155 new on eBay. Or is this a different lens?

I use it on my d3300 as well. I bought it specifically for getting shots of the owls in my neighborhood. It's a great lens!

This is a great deal, and I would trust Adorama's refurbs over some sites' "new". Nothing against those other sites, but my record with Adorama refurbs has been perfect.

So it is the same lens correct?

As far as I can see.

"new" grey market import from eBay vs manufacturer refurb from reputable camera store. It's a toss up. Last time I ordered a similar lens from ebay they ended up sending me the non-VR version instead, got it returned but was a small hassle.

Likewise. It's not tack sharp nor suitable for a pro, but it's $150! I've loved mine for what it is. Would have to spend much, much more money for better image quality and features. Zero complaints.

Warranty: Import Model , 1yr USA warranty by seller
Seller Warranty: 1yr Parts , 30 day Labor warranty by seller

Looks like an import model that has no factory USA warranty so the seller has their own warranty. So you have a 1 year parts warranty and 30 day labor warranty by the seller and not Nikon as far as I can tell.

Edit: The lens in the OP from Adorama will have a Nikon 90 Day Warranty.
