I bought one new in about 1985. I still have it, although seldom
used as
I'm
playing with a bunch of other old stuff.
Optically I'd say it is really good for a 24-50 from that period.
Published
and exhibited a good many shots made with it. Sharp at mid apertures.
Flare quite well controlled. Can't comment on wide open. Almost
never
used
it that way. It's also very solid mechanically. Mine survived 20
years
of
heavy use in really extreme northern conditions with no problems.
On the other hand, I'd have my doubts about chromatic aberration.
Haven't
used it on my digital yet, however, and don't have time to test. (Show
opening tomorrow.)
I think you'd be better off with the 18-55 kit lens, which is at least
equally sharp, has better flare control, and is probably not much more
expensive used.

Has anyone ever used that lens? Thoughts on it? Sample photos taken
with
it? Thanks!
