This is a wide-mid-zoom for a full frame FX camera. It was highly regarded by Nikon pros, but was dropped after only three years of production in the early-mid 2000's due to duplication with another lens (many pro's feel Nikon made the wrong choice of which lens to drop). This lens' basic design forshadowed the high regarded 18-70 DX kit lens....you can think of it as the FX version of this lens.
This particular version has a slight lens scratch....but this does not show up in / affect the picture.
