Hi! I am given the opportunity to buy this lens for about $100 (in local currency <g>).
It goes as follows: 1. I'd get circular polarizer and UV filter and also a hood for this lens. 2. The lens is K-mount with AF that works very find with MZ-5n that I could handle yesterday. Unfortunately the previous owner (my co-worker, what a strange notion just before very recently <g>) admits that the lens once fell on the ground and had to be fixed. The damage was to the focusing ring so that the lens couldn't focus because the ring was somewhat flabby. The owner fixed that (I suppose himself) and by now it works good. The only effect, according to him, of this event is the paint rubbed off some inch or so off the focusing ring. You know, like a big scratch. It also can go as short as 18 cm from the object giving 'macro' up to 1:4 factor. So Sigma designates it as macro lens. It is also multi coated. I took few shots and of course I intend to take this lens for the ride. Is it a worthy lens for this kind of money? I realize proper Pentax optics would cost few times as much. And I really liked the angle. Please advise. I would especially appreciate comments from owners of this very lens. Thanks in advance. --- Boris Liberman www.geocities.com/dunno57
