Impulsive E Bay Purchase - Don Schaeffer - Jul 13, 2011

I missed bidding on a Nikkor 100 mm lens so I settled for a very cheap Albinar 28-80 mm f3.9-4.9 lens even though I did not need it. I have to use it manually, of course. That doesn't deter me much. In practice I found it works pretty well and is about half the weight of my Sigma 18-200 mm lens that I typically carry. Some experimental shots follow:

The clarity and resolution of these look quite good. Good purchase I would say...
