I applied a protective film immediately after purchase and used it. The exterior, including the body and hood, has no noticeable scratches or paint peeling. I couldn't see any dust or debris inside the lens upon visual inspection. I have always stored it in a dehumidified storage box after use. Although it is a used item, it has hardly been used and is in overall good condition. Operation has been confirmed. It works without any problems. Thank you for looking.
