Perfect zoom and macro lens for Sony Alpha DSLR camera. In 100% condition, no scratches at all. 
Have to sell because of my latest upgrade to a Sony SAL70300G lens. This lens still has a 2 years warranty from Sigma. Sigma also fixed the gearing problem some of the lenses had with the latest Sony Alpha bodies.
