Good deal or not?

Pentax SMC DAL 50-200 mm Zoom Lens for $80 off of Craigslist in super condition. Pros vs. cons, anyone?

That's close to what it costs in a dual lens kit- the K-30 + 18-55 + 50-200 DA L is $1049, which is $200 more than the body only. I'd say the value of the 18-55 is $75 and the other $125.

As for the lens itself- it's an OK lens. Gives you decent reach and decent image quality at a good price.
