I made my best offer at $10 and they accepted it. So the lens is on its
way for $20 including UPS shipping.
Despite my harsh judgement on the lens earlier it _is_ thoroughly possible
to take nice pictures with it. Just don't point it in the general
direction of the sun, and don't compare to some other lenses ;-)
I am a beginner and my skills will
not do justice to a great lens anyway :-)
That's beside the point: all else equal, your pictures will look better
with a better lens. No extra skill or effort needed: instant gratification.
Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy the lens :o)

So I felt that let me play with
something. Though when I made the offer, I never thought they will accept
it. Wife spent $80 on some organic cosmetics or some such nonsense.
I just had to get something.... Thanks Don. Gaurav

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.
Here's a quick snap of an artificial flower at 80mm, f/5.6 and about
2.3 to 1, on the ist-D at ISO 200 by the light of a single table lamp.
