Yeah, saw that one on there too. It's alright if you're looking for a low-end zoom, so anything above 40GBP would be a bad deal / waste of cash.

Not the best of images, but it all depends on what you're going to be using it for.

Depends what you want - I have a Vivitar 70-200 manual focus lens with A setting. f3.8 and it's OK nothing special but I think it would be better than the Cosina. I bought it to see if I would be blown away by it and I wasn't. As I have the much lighter Pentax 50-100 it's a cheap lens I can part with if you're interested.

I see you're in Worcestershire just like me. We can meet and you can try it if you like.
