comment:	If you find one - test it out - if it's a good one - buy it! I got lucky - i had to do some minor cleaning inside myself - now it's a perfect lens to me - (tested on A700/minolta 5D - so only cropped factor!). If you want it - you'll have to kill me. It's always in the bag when i'm going out for landscape & building photographing together with the 12-24 + the 70-300G. Used it with the LA-EA4r (monster) with firmware release 5 - and it works like a charm on the A7III.
