No, I distinctly remember seeing 28 to 200-something on the rear-half 
of the lens (the half in her RIGHT hand... :-) It might not have been 
exactly 205 on the high end. I looked around a bit for the aperture, 
but it wasn't prominently displayed on the lens.
To one used to seeing a lot of beat-up looking, but basically 
integral lenses (my collection :-), I'll tell you -- seeing a lens in 
two halves was a shocking sight!
