Super Varexon 200mm f/3.5

Will like it- Once I get it back from Authorized Photo Service it will be a refurbished lens. Would not autofocus from135-200 mm. Getting a near full- gut repair on the inside costing what I won it for on the auction. Exterior condition was good, but inside was worn out. I'll have to 'use out' my investment in the repair. Bought as a vacation lens for times I didn't want to carry 2.8 glass. Still much cheaper that the current model-and much smaller. Plastic body and mount may be a little less robust for professional use, but it's not a pro lens anyway.

Not many people know the value of this lens! I was looking for something affordable and lightweight for walking around not carrying my entire bag with me. I literally just got this lens today 03.26.2020 and I have to say that I'm very pleased with the performance of this lens. The lens tends to be a little bit soft on the edges at 200mm. I only played in the house and took couple of shots by the window and I was very impressed. Now, you have to keep in mind that you get what you're paying for. This is not a fixed aperture, but in my opinion, it is as sharp as the ones that cost a hand and a leg. For those people that just started photography for fun or personal events, it is the one lens that will do the job for you indoor or outdoor. For outdoor, I can guarantee that your pictures vs a more expensive gear shots, will be the same if not in some ocations better but dor a fraction of the cost. Something to keep in mind when you are shooting indoor. You must have a good lighting or use your flesh. You'll be surprised how much you will love you pictures. Overall, this lens ,in my honest opinion, it is worth the money. I'm a long time hobbyist and I have different types of lenses; I have to tell you that this one will probably stay attached to my D750 fx probably 80% of the time when going out with my family. I only paid $170 in mint condition and I love it. I don't want to go into the things that I don't like about this lens, and it will be worles because of the price and the performance of this lens is phenomenal. However, I wish it was not that plasticky; yes ,but again it will not be worth the same as it is now. In conclusion, it is a very good lens for beginners and even professionals for walk around. Just don't hold your camera from the lens and you'll be safe. Hope you had a chance to find out weather this lens is for you or not. Happy shooting and stay safe! P.S. Very sharp images, love it! :))Read full review

Good But Not Great Would rather have a lens with a longer focal length and a lower F stop. No Vibration Reduction, so not so good for action photography.It is a good lens, but not a great lens. Okay for the price.
