Not an auction so it should be OK.

I have 2 of these and they are a surprisingly good little lens for the
almost "give-away" price.
If anyone is looking for a cheap knock around or spare short zoom
this is quite a deal.

$25?

How can that be?

It's the supply and demand thingie: lots were made, and they are not popular. The lens is, at best, optically 'o.k.' (and I'm being nice here ;-). It suffers from flare badly, and is cheaply built. The only cool thing is the 1:2 macro setting at 80mm. If anyone is willing to pay $25+shipping, I'll gladly sell mine :o)

I've seen lens caps go for more than that!

I've seen lens _boxes_ go for more than that...
