I agree, it's actually a fairly nice little lens, though it does extend
a long way when at it's shortest focal length. I got mine on e-bay for
about $45.00, to fill the gap left in my zoom lenses when the FA 28-70
developed it's cataract. It actually seems to have a better build than
the FA, though I've never had the F lens apart, and I've partially
disassembled the FA to clean out some beach sand that got into the
mechanism.
