As Martin mentioned, this is a Super Lens. This is the model before Nikon released the 24-70 f2.8 a few years ago.
There is no Irish Warrenty and the lens is four years old, I bought it in the UK from a company called Simply Electronics. Its is as mentioned in great condition with a few mark on the lens body, due to its age. I have had the lens checked and valued at Conns, who obviously valued it at EUR800.
I predominatly use this lens for studio/portraiture. Only last week I used it for a charity fashion show with Miss Universe Ireland, it preformed very well in very low light: http://www.jonathanmmcgee.com/gallery_221062.html
If your interested in seeing the lens for a test run let me know.
Would you consider swapping the 12-24mm and the macro for a Nikkor 28-70 f/2.8 ED, cost me EUR1500 two years ago. The lens is in great condition but I require something different now as an architectural photographer.
I have just bought one and had it shipped from the US to my other home in the UK, not the cheapest but they are the best by far, honestly no comparisons. The build quality is superb on mine, I have the Four-section tripod CT-3472 with Ball Head CB-70H.
See link to site below but be warned when posting from the US they may charge customs tax, worth it though:
