Tamron 15-30mm f2.8 (Nikon mount) TOP NOTCH WIDE ANGLE LENS in Victoria, British Columbia for sale

This lens is hard for me to part with. The optical quality, the speed, and internal stabilization make this a world class piece of glass. Read any review, it competes with Nikon's 12-24mm and out performs it in some tests. With the added stability of an internal vibration control and an f2.8 aperture, the lens delivers incredible sharpness in low light. Autofocus is super fast, it works great for video, landscape, architecture, music photography... You name it. With a range of 15mm-30mm, it is versatile. It is also heavy, so be warned. But you will never be without it in your bag once you see the images it puts out.
The lens has lived in the nikon padded sleeve I put it in on day one and is in mint condition. It was purchased new for $1500+tax and I would not be parting with it if I had not recently bought a wide angle for my new sony camera. It is unfortunately just sitting there now and would be better used in your hands.
Happy to consider any reasonable offers with a half decent story, low ballers ignored. Location is my studio in Chinatown, would be stoked if you could come test it out here.
