For 19 E + transport , I think it's at least a fair lens .I dot't dare to say that's a hidden gem but shurely underrated. Not big , not heavy, good for travel with the NEX 3. A good partner for the Minolta 35-70 . Maybe I should posted this at MF lenses instead of 'digital gallery" ? :
Some results :
1.

Great series. I like all.
I have this lens in FD mount so I can only use on film, but I am amazed by it.

I have this lens but have not used it in a very long time...might be worth while dusting it off..  Your images are all lovely and that last one is a classic.

It's probably a better lens on film or FF. I hardly used to go above 70mm on a crop camera. Do you have a film body for your lens?

Well I have the 2 touch Vivitar 70-150mm zoom with matched 2X extender and am pleased with the results, but the weakness in mine is at 150mm.....some say the one touch is better erm well I'll leave that to the pixel peepers as I wont be buying another 70-150mm as I also have a Pentax and did have a Kiron also until I took it apart to clean a bit of fungus and couldn't put it together again. Anyway IMO a Tamron 46a or Kiron 80-200 f4 are better lenses and more useful.

I have several oops ...I do remember when I first started out ,I took a photo of a horse with it using one of my Ricoh Slrs...it is possibly posted somewhere on the forum.I will try it on the K200D and see how it goes...that's of course if it stops raining.
