Also US > $89. If it's an early Series 1 from the early eighties or thereabouts, it might be a very nice lens. I'm not familiar with this particular focal length. The later Series 1 lenses were no better than other third party zooms, but the original ones were superb. However, it's probably a pretty good deal at that price, even if it's not one of the better Series 1 lenses. It's certainly better than the bow-wow 135 Tak.
