I have one, it is my number one lens unless I am doing macro. If you don't
buy it, please let me know (off list) how I can contact the seller and I
will buy it. Or, if you want to take a chance, I will guarantee you that at
any time in the next 3 years that you want to sell the lens I will pay you
�100 plus any documented repair costs you might have.
In other words, this is far too good a lens for it to be homeless! Take it
in off the streets, give it loving care, and it will be your friend for
life.

> Hello
> Yesterday I spotted the above lens for sale at �70. Optically and
> cosmetically good but two mechanical problems. With the lens off-camera the
> aperture would not consistently open to 1.8, stopping at the half-stop
> between 1.8 and 2.8. Sometimes it worked just fine. The other problem was
> that between 1.3m and 1.2m on the focusing scale there was a noticeable
> knock in the mechanism.
>
> It's no collector lens but my questions are:
>
> how does the lens perform?
> should I buy? I have never seen one for sale anywhere else so have no
> reference for pricing.
>
> Would appreciate any comments.

> Thanks in advance
