The Maxxum AF 70-210mm lens is better made than many, with a metal barrel, focus ring, and filter threads. It focuses to 3.6 feet (1.1 meters) at every focal length, much closer than most other Tele- Zooms. It's a joy to use; zooming is internal so nothing moves other than the zoom ring as zoomed. Is approx 6 1/2 x 3" x 3" and is in a good, used condition with some wear.
