Got it

Nice! Paired up w the 60? Wow, nice get!! Should make a great mid range tele too! I had the Maxxum 100 f/2.8 macro and loved it as a tele paired with white magic (Minolta 200 f/2.8) Expect that pair will be just as good for indoor and walk around sniping.

I'd grab the 105 D had there been any in sub-tamron 90sp price range on ebay at the time, but they all were roughly 400.

Good to know I got a great deal at $175 (CDN so about $140 USD) and no shipping - but did have to drive to next town 50k away - 'postage' = $20 in fuel.

I am having some fun with this lens. The zoom takes some effort, want to zoom out, take two steps backwards.
