Well, It depends who they bought that particular lens from.

Years ago I needed a cheap 35-105 fro my F3. I bought one from Ritz in
MD (at the time I was near Annapolis). It was a Makina made lens and
was decent once I stopped it down a notch or two.

Not on par with my Nikons but I neede an almost "disposable" lens and
it fit the need.

Hello,
I have a Nikon D70 that came with the standard kit 18-70mm lens. It
recently took a plunge off my workbench and now I need a new lens. I
thought I'd look at something along the lines of 18-200mm but hesitate
at the cost of purchasing a Nikon lens when I have found a Quantaray
18-200mm for the Nikon DSLR's at half the cost. But, I am not familiar
with Quantaray. Has anyone had any experience with their Digital SLR
lenses? I'd love to hear some comments before I make a purchase.
Thanks.
