The reason it's junk is because communication errors occur. (This is a common issue, and camera/lens repair shops can likely fix it.) Please purchase only if you understand this. It has been stored in a dehumidified storage cabinet. I used it with care, but the product condition is listed as having scratches and dirt. It is treated as junk due to the above-mentioned errors. If repaired, it can still be used as an L lens!
