OK..... So I was happy with my purchase of the Minolta AF-50...... so now I'm thinking I'd like something in the telephoto range. I was looking at another little hole in the wall like camera store (they are the best) and I asked about what he had in the way of Minolta or Alpha mountable lens. He pulled out the only lens he had which so happen to be this one.

Tonika AF 70-210mm/4-5.6 (beer can equiv) and had a price-tag of 95.00 on it if memory serves me right. Just curious the thoughts on this one, I'd talking the guy to 75.00 on it, but someone I think that's not going to happen since he actively sells film cameras to college/high-school photography teachers, ect. The lens itself was immaculate, it didn't appear to have had more than maybe a few shots taken with it, so im not sure I could talk him down any, plus this isn't exactly a pawn shop. Whats the take on this affordable glass looking glass? Having the 18-55 kit lens, the 50/1.7 and this... would adding this tie me over for awhile (id have a general use, portrait/night shot and a telephoto). The only thing missing from that list is Macro and I think i'll do without until much later.
