Two years ago I got one from ebay that had slightly fungus. I returned it after trying it for a weekend. Picture quality didn't seem to be better than my SMC- M 80-200/4.5. Maybe the F 70-210 is somewhat weak. Best, Bernd

This time it will not autofocus (as if the body is set to MF). Previous one was fogged. Both of these from shops! First one was misaligned and would not focus at infinity. I guess I should see it as an omen and stop looking for one... Kostas
