It's $85 (bargain) at KEH. That's pretty cheap as long as it's not a complete dog. There is a new DA50-135 coming, but that will be at least $500. -----Original Message----- From: "P. J.

The optical formula is listed on Boz's page as being identicel to the A 35-135 so you could look at that as a starting point. It's an older F series, from the same era as the exellent F 70-210 and it's little brother the F 35-70 3.5~4.5. Now the long zoom is mostly metal and is built like a medium tank, while the shorter zoom is mostly plastic, but it's very well constructed. So based on it's linage I'd say for anything around a $150.00 or less go for it. On 12/28/2010 9:47 PM, Steven Desjardins wrote: > Anybody know anything about this lens?
