Super-Paragon 28-50mm f/3.5-4.5 PMC Auto

Very good image quality for my intended ... Very good image quality for my intended use. Sides and corners a little soft at max aperture.

All terrain, practical, nice zoom coverage, light I bought it for social events, the zoom range is very useful 28-105, the F 3.5-4.5 (I use in FF) helps a lot in low light situations without using a high ISO, the focus is nice, high quality build and metal body. Don't expect the best sharpness, most of zoom lenses has not good good sharpness and this is one of them, but hey! for $50-$80 bucks is one of the best deals you can find on internet/

Not usable for my needs. Sub par images and scratchy when telephoto control is turned Does not focus sharply and when I turn aperture it is scratchy. It has been dropped. The little plastic window is cracked and a small dent/chip on the body.unusable for my needs. It will take a photo but not good quality. Tested on several outdoor objects.
