I would like the opinion on a lens I saw advertised. The lens is a Cosina 28-210mm IF
4.2-6.5 AF for $99.95. Any feed back on this would be greatly appreciatd.

if i remember correctly. this cosina lens was sold as a promaster, phoenix, vivitar, and opteka lens. its not a fast lens and not really a solid lens as well. optically i can not remember seeing anyone rave over it.
