From: Eric Weir
To my ist* DS, smc a 28mm f2.8, and smc a 70-210mm f4 I'm
contemplating adding either an smc a 35-70mm f4 [$80] or an smc a
35-105 f3.5 [$200], both of which I understand are really good
lenses.
I'm not exactly rich. [If I hadn't been able to get what I've got for
a little over $300 -- and a licensed copy of Lightroom 3 for just
under $120 -- I wouldn't be able to afford to get into digital
photography.] Which lens would you recommend?
Neither one of them excites me. I suggest looking at what KEH has to
offer. They're right down there in your neck of the woods.
A quick look just now shows they're offering a "28-70 F4 SMC FA AL (52)
35MM SLR AUTO FOCUS ZOOM WIDE ANGLE LENS" in EX condition for $76.00
The way they list it, you'd probably have to purchase lens caps
separately - about another $12.00
They list another "28-70 F4 SMC FA AL (52) *WITH CAPS* 35MM SLR AUTO
FOCUS ZOOM WIDE ANGLE LENS" - EX for $84.00
I think KEH rates their items VERY conservatively. Every lens I've ever
bought from them arrived in a condition I'd have rated them one step
higher on their scale, i.e. BGN lenses I bought could have passed for
EX, EX lenses could have passed as EX+ or LN-.
