Hi,

found it on eBay! I'm always searching for a sharp constant aperture normal zoom, so does anyone knows this cosina?

http://cgi.ebay.de/Cosina-28-70-1-4-Macro-fuer-Nikon_W0QQitemZ190327242912QQcmdZViewItemQQptZDE_Elektronik_Computer_Foto_Camcorder_Objektive_PM?hash=item2c506340a0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ht_500wt_1182

cheers,

Karhallarn

Cosina made many cheap budget lenses I don't think so this lens is a good deal. Tamron SP lenses are cheap and good ones. Also Kiron , Vivitar Series 1 lenses are nice in this focal length.

Quality of MF zooms is bit of a "relative" story. I got me Tamron SP 01A which supposed to be the best zoom ever. But I don't see much overall difference to El Cheapo AF zooms .. Confused

Colors and contrasts are better but sharpness not.
I think old zooms are not the point of MF.

+1 but in many cases I prefer over contrast and color on sharpness.
I had great experience with cheap Sigma 70-300mm AF zoom in past even great experience I sold it , but perhaps I will buy it again if need really. I did test many MF zoom , but I always prefer primes above them.
