I owned one for a couple of weeks. In fact, these two submissions were taken with it. http://pug.komkon.org/LX_Gallery/nijm750.html http://pug.komkon.org/02feb/beer_cs.html
It was okay, but I'd got it off ebay.nl along with something else. It had terrible barrel-wobble so I got rid of it and bought an A35-105 instead (from the local camera shop - much more expensive!). Having only used it for a day, I can't say that I know the lens well, but it's perfectly adequate for someone starting out. Oh, and it's not multi-coated either. Quality-wise, below the SMC stuff.
