Picked it up for 30 bux Canadian. Still works, at least. Not made past 1990 for good reason.

Heh. I wonder why Canon decided to do that. It's gotta be more expensive to make than a manual-zoom lens..

Because motorized everything was the shit back in the 80s.

"Power zoom LOL" should be a meme.

What camera are you using it on? How is the AF?

I'm using it on my Rebel 350D. The AF is "Meh", and the zoom is slooooow. The optics aren't shit-hot, either. I picked it up on a lark, figured it would be okay when I'm someplace sandy and don't want to possibly fuck up an expensive lens.

That's nothing, I've got a Tamron Adaptall-2 mount lens that autofocuses.

Spoiler: Adaptall-2 has no electronic connections and was for MF cameras.

It's not a competition, man. Just sharing something odd.

Also, post pics.

This lens amuses me greatly and I don't know why.

It's apparently not really that good, but it's oddness compared to other Canon products makes it seem like something worth having. If not just to show to people.
