It resides at a consignment/flea market in Pensacola where I am visiting this weekend. Tag says $40, which is absurd, but might it be worth $25? Focus scale minimum is sub 1.3 feet.

Might be a Tokina, or any of a half dozen others. My bidding would stop at ten to 15 dollars for a clean, working example.

It might well be a decent lens but there's no need to pay that much, if it was $10 then maybe but otherwise just wait till another cheap old lens comes along or look on ebay.

I would venture to say it's just consumer grade...Any chance they will let you mount it & snap off a few? That way, it will make it easier for you to decide if you want it. I just got an old Vivitar 200mm F3.5 (Tokina version) in a TX mount on eBay for 99 cents...Better luck there for me
