I bought this on Ebay for $0.99 US and $12.95 shipping. It had what I first thought was fungus inside but it turned out to be a smudge on the inside and was quickly cleaned. When I first got it thinkling it had fungus I swapped the front element with one from another lens. This was very easy to do as the Label ring is bonded to the front element and they come out together.



This lens has been a favorite of mine and photos taken with the one I have had for 2 years now have been very good. Even though it came as a Minolta mount and I modified it to a P/k mount (no infinity focus as a result of the modification) it would take quite good photos. Here is my new used 75-205 with two Series 1 70-210 lenses.
Left to right...Group 3 Komine, Group 2 Tokina, 75-205 f/3





As you can see it (the 75-205) is very similar to the 70-210 series 1 lenses in size but it is a good bit lighter in weight. Here are a few more photos of the 75-205.
