[QUOTE="STM, post: 113891, member: 12827"] The photo you provided was very small, not nearly big enough to objectively assess how good (or in this case, bad) the lens was. You also did not stipulate whether it was the early or late 43-86mm. The later one was completely redone as although not a stellar performer by any measure, was not as bad as the early one. The 43-86mm f/3.5 non-AI lens was indeed a [I][B]real dog [/B][/I]of a lens. WOOF WOOF. I had one and got rid of it after about 6 months. Worst camera investment I ever made. If the sun or a bright light source was in the frame somewhere there were more ghosts than a haunted house. Now the [FONT=Arial]35-70mm f/3.5[/FONT] AI and AIS were actually fine lenses, light years ahead of the dog. I never got one because I did not like two touch zooms. [/QUOTE]
