Price Paid: $15.00 from Ebay

Summary:
Ok lens. Would be great for teaching kids how to use SLR.

Strengths:
Cheap. Easy to find. Good construction. Lasts forever. This and a used Pentax SLR for about $40 total will take better pictures than most point and shoots.

Weaknesses:
I would rate the images as fair.

Similar Products Used:
Lots of Pentax lenses.

Customer Service:
Never used.
