Hi! All,
I ve heard Kiron made great lenses especially the 105mm Macro. I have an offer from a friend to buy a Kiron 28mm for $55 and Kiron 28-85mm varifocal for $60. both the prices are incl shipping.
Do let me know if you have any advice/pics/experience with these lenses.
Thanks

Kiron seem to be enjoying something of an upsurge in popularity recently as people discover how good these old lenses are. I have only the 90-180 flat field zoom to judge by, but based on that lens and other comments I have read I doubt that Kiron made any clunkers. The only caution I have read is that the grease Kiron used has a tendency to dry out over time so that the focus action becomes stiff.
