price paid: | GBP 82 |
positive: | Sharp Indestructible Price Constant F4 |

comment: | For the price, this can't be beaten. Despite its age, it is very sharp and build quality is excellent. Yes, it is heavy for its size, but it's not so heavy it can't be used as a walk around lens. Really pleased with my copy and will be keeping it for a long time. |
