Quote: Pentax best lens in the 70/80 to 200/210 range are:
1) FA*80-200/2.8 (but it costs an arm or a leg)
2) A*70-210/4 (constant 4)
3) M/K80-200/4.5
...
10) The rest
What reviews are so-so? $130 is not much for that lens. 9$ is less than it would cost to ship it!
Hm... That ain't a star, is it? But anyway, I get what you mean... The reviews I said - are the ones in our lens database; that's not something to be taken for absolute truth, of course, but they do give an general idea.
$130 not so cheap... Maybe; but for hungry student... nawww, that's a lot
But yeah, 9 bucks is helluva deal, YOU're SO LUCKY!! Sorry for caps... But yeah... You can say you almost earned yourself $200 in resell values
But I'm happy too
I just bought a Tamron SP 70-210/3.5 (said to be the best 70-210 of the era, and on par, or even better, than Vivitar 70-210 ver.3) and a Minolta X-700 (film-era Minolta top of the line... Never actually heard of it before I saw the picture and checked out google
). It should arrive on Friday... Can't wait, can't wait... The pics you got there are torture!
