The worst lens you ever had ... a collection of stories

I bought one with a 7xi camera but it went back to the shop before I even shot one film with it. Bakhuys (Pentax 67II, Pentax LX, Minolta 9) |

Mechanically a very bad lens. Doesn't feel good, especially when you're used to manual focus lenses (like Pentax). I bought one with a 7xi camera but it went back to the shop before I even shot one film with it. I used it for several years, it did have the redeeming feature of being compact. In its (alebit narrow) sweetspot, it was quite sharp if prone to slight vignetting. Mechanically, there was nothing wrong with it, IMO, just the powered-zoom and powered focus were very annoying. Needless to say, when I bought the 28-70 f/2.8 (Maxxum) the 28-80xi quickly went up for sale ... and astonishingly sold quickly for a good price ... meaning somebody didn't know what they were getting into.
