Latest Review Posted	Makinon 80-200mm F3.5 My copy looks a lot different, branded as Focal (Kmart brand).. but who else would make an 80-200mm f/3.5, with 1/2.55x macro?? My copy has K mount. First tests on a7ii shows clear vignetting but minimal color fringing on branches. Veiling glare when shooting at the sun but colors and contrast are nice otherwise. Aps-c crop definitely helps the vignette. Close-ups are maybe 4 feet away at 200mm; I rarely use 1:1 with a true macro so this is enough versatility for me. Internal zoom is nice but focus range still makes for a long lens! I found a decent tripod clamp but diameter isn't exact; a rubber band tightens up the connection. Given the price for modern f/2.8 and even f/4 zooms of this range, it's definitely a keeper! https://www.alphashooters.com/community/data/attachments/22/22845-585be5b42ebacf1441b787562f8e8aac.jpg
