Well, the scale goes from 1 star to 5 stars ... and this lens

has made it to one star. So, what does this really mean?



To me, I really prefer to have a one-star-lens, than no lens at all.

Long ago, in a travelling/backpacking holiday, I have been on a

street market / flea market, and saw a cheapo kit-zoom for my camera.

I would usually have never thought of buying such a lens, but as I

passed by, the thought "I have only one lens with me" popped into

my mind. Well, it was cheap, I bought it. Two days later, I dropped

my camera, and my lens was history. Now, you can imagine,

that this cheapo kit-zoom came really handy. I took a lot of images

with it ... some are visibly suffering from the quality (or the lack of it)

of the lens, others are quite good. Nevertheless, I would have come

home without images at all, without this lens (which was likely a

one-star lens as well). So, was this lens worth more than one star

to me? ... in that situation ... definately.



Just a sat'dy-morning thought ... Rainer
