[QUOTE="John Young, post: 105783, member: 12063"] I got a Kiron 80-200 F4 manual lens off ebay cheap and so far I am very impressed with it. Yeah it takes a little getting used to manual focusing but the focus has got some nice resistance behind it so making it easier to get the focus right. The lens itself is a thing of beauty, well made (metal) and the front and rear glass are spotless.. its like brand new Anyway for anyone interested here is one sample and a 100% crop. The photos have not been edited at all apart from resizing for the forum. These were taken at 1000 iso so maybe some grain there to. These were taken wide open for the lens at F4 [IMG]http://www.johnyoung.co/Photo%20Forum/kiron_sample.jpg[/IMG] Its sharp enough to see the dust on there :D [IMG]http://www.johnyoung.co/Photo%20Forum/kiron_sample_100rop.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
