I think this is a beautiful lens. Nice handing, good focal range, and good optics.
I bought it in excellent or excellent plus condition from KEH (don't remember). It looks mint actually (despite what Shel said, he was joking, and if you don't remember what he said, that's fine. :-)) Hate to part with it, but I am raising money for a K100D and I am more a auto focus kind of gal anyway. $150 or best offer (best reasonable offer) + shipping to wherever you are (no handling) front and rear lens caps included It has a macro function at some focal length, not sure what length, and I have not tried it. Not sure either if it is 3.5 through out the total focal length, so I mentioned the 5.6. (I am not up on these older lenses, sorry.) Because it is an older lens, it is a heavier lens (no plastic, good build quality), but not it's not that long and I have had no problems hand holding it without shake. Contact me off list if interested.
