Ann,
I don't have direct experience with that lens but there's some meager
information at Stan Halpin's lens comments page.
<http://stans-photography.info/LongComments.html#28-80%20mm%20f/3.5-4.5%20A>
That's not the same lens .
This is the link to the F version of the 35-80

Very little so it seems. It doesn't seem to be very desirable. Nor
especially good. Though the information on build quality seems to be
conflicting. Maybe Jostine and Jens can illuminate their comments.
About the barcode, I can't tell you much. I don't think it tells you
anything about the date of manufacture.
I thought it must. oh well...

Ok so I could not resist making a $29.95 purchase yesterday at my local
Salvation army
There in the display case in the front of the store was
K-1000 with a pentax smc A 35-80 zoom. Guy behind counter asked me if I
wanted the "case" it came in I said sure...
The case turned out to be a pretty decent small camera bag which he just
plopped the camera into and handed it to me.
Well, inside there were 4 (24 exposure) rolls of Kodak Gold and
a Canon sureshot 85zoom (hehe). Which is probably pretty much worthless.
I'm torn between keeping the stuff and selling it.
So here are my questions...
The K-1000 is in mint condition but it is not an oldie... it is "Assembled
in China" one thing I'd like to check is to see if the
serial numbers are NOT on the stolen equipment list. I've forgotten how
to do that...
The other is for opinions on the 35-80 zoom for use on my ist D - I know
I can check that myself just using it - but more input would be nice too. In
other words, I might sell it if it is desireable but not super great... is
it better than my 18-55 kit lens at comperable focal lengths?
about the film -- is there a place to go on the web to put in the
bar code number to find out how old the film is?
Thanks in advance, gang
ann
