Lenses for cheap

[P. J. Alling]

I just noticed this.  I'm not a collector, but the 200 is a collectible 
item, I think it's fairly rare, as such the price was /very/ 
reasonable.  The 35-70mm is also collectable but probably only of 
interest to someone who already has the ME-F, (os is looking to buy 
one), as it's nearly unusable on any other camera, or so I've been 
told.  The problem with the Sigma is that entry level normal zooms are a 
dime a dozen.
