I also have the chance to use this lens. A joy.I'm pleased to see that my personal favorite, the K 85-210/3.5 garnered three votes. This big old lens is incredibly sharp. I didn't vote for it because it's not the lens I'd buy if I could have anything I want. That would have to be the second place FA* 250-600. (In truth, I didn't vote at all, since I'm not a zoom kind of guy.) But the old K 85-210/3.5 is a nice zoom for people who don't use zooms. I keep mine on the top shelf and admire it once a year or so :-) Paul
I pushed it to its limit once (210mm + f/3.5 + low contrast subject) and... saw its limit. But I was asking a lot and, to say the truth, the photo is still quite fine.
You don't put the close-up attachment lens in and out in a snap though.
I have a spare case for this lens. Maybe one of the 2 other voters need one.
