yeah well if you took pictures of that lens and uploaded them it would even better, since ebay images are cumbersome and will just go away in a few weeks
From what I can see (pipe push pull, 62ø, style of front ring) it is our beloved 60-300, of course this is all conjecture - no one really knows whether they have all the same formula, tolerances or glass!
"Sears" is a new one on that one, usually Vivitar / Soligor / Makinon / whatever label (though mostly AF)
Mine (two M-AF one sort of broke) gives fine images up to 200mm (10mpix apsc),
usable wider than f8 too, but it has lots of spherochromatism ("color bokeh") which sort of doesn't improve, of course, wide open. It can be used for creative effects like bird in color bokeh woodwork, but can also be very annoying for some scenes and subjects with light reflections etc.
It is also very nice to almost normal 60mm for casual nontele without even changing lens. |
