Morning folks, I know I havent been around much, been working on web pages and scripting flash, over the last few weeks. Anyway the local shop has a Kiron, Nikon Mount, MF, f2.8, 105mm Macro Lenses for $120. The lens is second hand but looks to be in decent shape. Thing is I have never herd of the company, and I think they have gone out of business. So I was curious if anyone has any experience with lenses made by this company? If they are equivalent to Quantaray (Ritz store brand), I wont even bother looking, but if it is more like Vivitar, or Tamron, then it may be worth a look. If anyone knows these lenses, Id appreciate some help. Thanks
