Re: love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was my first EF telephoto lens and I think I have paid $129 for it new.  I used it on my D30 back in the day and even got a few photos published in some photography magazines with it.  Mine was pretty decent, especially stopped down to f/8.  I haven’t tried one on a modern camera but back with the old 3 and later the 6MP APS-c sensors it seemed pretty decent.  I ended up selling mine along with my D60.

I think this is one of those lenses that there is likely to be lots of copy to copy variation.  How much QC can you expect for such an inexpensive lens?
