You cannot call a lens 'Low Quality' just by the price it goes for in Japanese Auctions(?). And what's wrong with a 'consumer lens' ? The fact that you've owned better lenses doesnt make this lens crap or not worth considering.

" You poor guys who have to buy cheap low quality consumer lenses for your 4x6 holiday snaps.... as opposed to us, serious photographers.
