This is a TAMRON zoom lens, 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical [IF] MACRO (Model B003) (for Nikon), released in 2008. It's a high-magnification 15x lens for APS-C cameras, equipped with image stabilization. It's a capable lens and I think it's convenient to use when you need to limit your luggage. The exterior has no noticeable scratches, but there are some scuffs from use. The lens has no mold or fogging, but there is some dust inside, which does not affect the photos. The autofocus, aperture operation, and zoom operation are all good. The 18th and 19th photos are sample shots taken with a D40. Accessories include a hood, a protective filter, and lens caps (F, R).
