why does it say lens taken out of box
1365011
The camera is packaged as a kit with a lens. If you buy just a body they remove the lens and sell the camera only with its peripherals. They then add a sticker to the kit box that the lens has been removed.

This item was originally a camera "kit," which included the camera body, a lens, battery charger, etc. But the seller has removed the lens to sell separately, leaving everything else. There is NO LENS with this camera... even though it shows one on the box. It is camera body only, and will only work if you have your own lens. Worked well for me because I already had a lens and didn't want to be paying more for another one.

The camera does not have a lens -- I sent it back. What good is a camera without the lens?

This item is the body only. It does not include your basic kit lens. I bought the body only because I already had my kit 18-55m lens from my older Canon Rebel camera so there was not point in me purchasing another lense.

The Rebel T3 doesn't ships factory with the lens. This seller removes the lens and sells just the body. (I assume they sell the lens seperately for an extra profit?) It's a decent deal if you have an extra lens around.

Because if you buy from Canon it comes with the 18 - 55 lense. However this is a good camera and because I had one before I was not looking for a lense, I only wanted the camera body.

Some people are not interested in the lens that comes with the kit, and would prefer to buy the body of the camera and then separately buy a different lens. That is what I did and it was an affordable way to get a higher quality camera and lens.

This is just a body and doesn't come with the kit lens. Most people would be better off buying this and buying a nifty fifty separately.

You have to take the camera out of Automatic mode. You can only use the lens in manual mode.

Occasionally the camera tells me there's no lens attached. It could be related to your problem too.

It was a mystery to me...the lens came in a Nikon factory box and there were a whole bunch of smaller boxes with cleaner, filters, mini tripod, etc. - my guess is that it refers to all the accessories. I haven't used most of them, but the lens is awesome.

Trust the box. There are focusing motors in bodies and lenses that differ so I would go by what the box says. Too bad because it is a good lens.

I didn't know. The lens I brought was used and had fungus on the inside. You can always return the item if it doesn't work.

I have no idea. I will double check on the lens cover itself. I no longer have the box.

Yeah the exact same thing happen to me. I hope the lens it's stuck to is not too expensive. Cause the way I chose to remove it was by forcefully twisting it off. If it's a cheap kit lens a little plastic piece will break off. But the lens will work just fine. It won't destroy it, just modify it a little.

"very good" might have scratches on the frame or very neglible scratches on the glass. "Like new" is open packaged and seldom use. This is how I would distinguish between the two. Try to see if the rotation is very smooth and the thin film on the lens is entacted.

Send it back immediately- Amazon is great about returns. Mine is as solid as a brick and is the best built lens I own. You will see when you get another one back.!

Im pretty sure there was a warranty card in the box. Its a really great lens for the the money. The bokeh and dof is excellent

I am not sure if you were asking a specific seller, but if you buy from Nikon or New lens from Amazon - it is a typical Nikon lens warranty. If you are buying a used lens from an individual seller on here, you should ask that seller if the lens is still under a warranty (because they may have lost all the paperwork or they may no longer have a warranty because they have had the lens for some time). I bought a used lens from here and it works great! I love my 85mm!

Mine is in perfect condition. I have several lenses from Tamron and they have all been in mint condition. Return it to them and they should replace.

To the best of my knowledge, it basically means that the lens was part of a bundle from Japan, including camera, lens, accessories,etc. The bundle is broken up and each item is sold separately when it arrives in the U.S. The white box is proof of this. However, they are brand new and work perfectly. I am quite pleased with mine, and the $100 savings makes it well worth it.

I don't know since my lens works fine, I have not had to send it in for repair. Sorry, I can't help you.

Maybe the lens is dirty. Take it to a camera shop and have them clean it! Also, try switching to a different brand of disks.

The date of manufacture of a lens is not known. The lens is not attached to the box.
