That seems like a good price for it. It's life span is problematic as the separation can happen while it's simply sitting on a shelf. The problem was an aspheric element that was a spherical glass lens molded into an optical plastic element with the same refraction index. (It shows as one lens element in the optical formula http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/lenses/zooms/_optics/28-70f4.gif ).

I wonder if at 50 Euros it would be worth the try r not.

The issue with this lens is that it's quite prone to unrepairable

I know this lens was well regarded in film era but what about its
digital performances?
Would it be worth chasing it?
What price would be acceptable for that lens ?


Thank you all.

fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a 
free man any more than a dog.
