Gosh, Gary, I wish you hadn't said that! I was just thinking about
offering four zooms up for sale, two of them Soligors, a Sigma and a
Vivitar, to the list membership first of course. I'd always been
satified with their performance, but decided to sell because of
duplicated coverage with other lenses. Now I find out after all these
years they're no good, not even worth testing! :-) The two-ring
Soligors, a 24-45/3.5-4.5 and a 75-205/3.5, both have macro settings and
have metal barrels and glass elements, no wonder these junkers are so
heavy! The one-ring Vivitar macro-focusing 75-205/3.8 appears to be
constructed of metal and glass also. The Sigma 35-70/2.8-4 is also a
one-touch, and the main barrel appears to be metal, but the sliding
portion may be plastic? I was going to offer the two 75-205's and the
35-70 up at $80.00 each or best offer, (plus shipping), and the 24-45 at
$125.00 (plus shipping) or best offer, first come first served. While
I'm at it, might as well sell off my backup Varimagnifinder (with case)
for $130.00 plus shipping, obo, fcfs. If interested, contact me OFF
LIST.
