Thanks to all who responded to my request for a rating of the above lens. Looks like it's one to avoid; pity as KEH have one rated 'bargain' ($94.00) at the moment.
It looks like the SMC 'M' lenses very often out do their newer 'A' stable mates from what I can see reading PDML posts. I have two reasons for hunting out used 'A' lenses over the older 'M's. 1) My 35mm system is built around two Super A bodies. 2) When I upgrade to the * ist D next year, I want to carry over as much compatibility as possible with my lenses. Regards & Thanks, Pat
