Can anyone see anything wrong with this lens???

As the title really....

I was just browsing and really cant see why it is so cheap. I thought these were fetching a lot more nowadays.

Just wondered if any of you experts see anything wrong before i think about having a bid!

Thanks.

50 quid is only the starting price - there could be a reserve price on it. There might also be a dozen bafty crastids waiting to bid in the closing minutes.

I'm a bafty crastid...

I dunno, its an old and slightly slow lens, its a £50 starter so it could go anywhere.

Is it worth a hundred quid or so....:shrug:

Doesn't look like there is anything wrong with it.

Estimate how much you'd pay and watch it until it passes that mark...

That is if thats the lens you'd like


Usually tells you if there is a reserve. Doubt there is one

It doesn't seem to get great reviews, so that may also be a contributing factor:

Aside from the fact that it's apparently not very sharp, it's slow and not a particularly useful focal length range for crop bodies..

Thanks for steering me right guys!

It looked like a bargain at first, im glad i asked!

Nasty old lens - terrible on digital camera

Not one of Sigma's best efforts
