that depends on how much you paid for it. If it cost you 20$, then you
got a deal. I haven't noticed a difference between the two versions
that I have, an SC and a MC, but I haven't done side by side
comparasons either. I've never had picture that I could immediately say
"oh, that's the SC POS that I used." The SC does flare much more than
the MC, which will lower contrast, so don't include the sun in your
photos with this lens.. In other words, you can take fine pictures with
it as long as you understand the limitations of this lens.
Be seeing you.
