Tamron AF28-200mm

How much is this lens worth?
One of my buddies is trying to sell it to me used (Pentax mount) and I can't seem to find any reviews of the damn thing . It's like $250 new on Amazon I think, but there's only one review that seems really sketchy and $250 seems really high...

It's a very long, cheap zoom with predictable mediocre image quality. $150 used on B&H, $100-120 or even less on ebay. You may also look at the similar 28-200 sigma.

I wouldn't pay more than $100 for it.

From the sound of it and the prices the previous posters mentioned, maybe $80 tops.

Thanks for the info.
He said he'd sell it to me for $70 and I might be able to talk him down to like $60.

I guess I'm mostly wondering if it's worth buying at all or if I should just save the money and buy some other economy zoom lens that would cost a little more.

KEH has a Pentax-branded 70-200 F4-5.6 for $65. Seems like a better deal, though I guess you wouldn't be able to get very close.

I wish KEH gave more info about their lenses though. Fuckin' impossible to tell if the AF on most of the lenses will actually work with a DSLR since they only tell you the minimum details.

I paid less than $50 used for mine from Adorama. I think it was like $45. Pretty crazy deal.
