all that is wrong with this SMC FA 28-80 F3.5-4.5 power zoom is the zoom mode switch.
except that I also have the 28-105 left over from my PZ-1, and a tamron 28-75 F2.8 I would probably use this lens more than just to play around with,
I posted this once before to show quality and contrast of this lens. There isn't a mark on the glass
ps jsherman999, I am surprised you didn't post youor dunked tamron here also, you seem to be building a rather substantial collection

Did you successfully transplant the KA?
