Mike,
I don't know if this would interest you, but I have a Tamron 80-205/4.5 zoom
that is really quite nice. I actually sold it on ebay, for a whopping $25,
but the person, amazingly, blew me off and never replied to my emails. They
even cancelled their email account (a real one, not a hotmail or such).
This might not be long enough for you.
If you're interested, I'd sell it for $30 shipped, which would cover my
'loss', so to speak. I think it is worth more (but don't know), but I think
it is a fair deal.

To the list: Is this lens any good? I don't find it in Gary's lens tests,
so I doubt if it is a stellar lens, but it's cheap <g>.
Let me know if you're interested.
