Re: A rare Pentax SMC 80-210 f/3.5 for sale

2001-03-21 Thread Darren & Tara Sutherland

What I know of this lens is that it's BIG!  It's about 50% longer than the
SMC-A 70-210 f4.0 however, it is usually seen cheaper around my town
(Vancouver).  Well...when we actually see them.  I found that it's size
really deterred people from purchasing the one that my store had.  It sat
and sat and sat until someone who didn't mind the size saw it as a good
value for the price we had on it.

I'm afraid I have collected no comments about this lens. Why not? I suspect
because so much praise has been heaped upon the 70-210/4A, which is much
cheaper and commonly available, that I felt few would be interested.
