OK guys... here's an oddball...

I've located a local dealer that has a used SIGMA 39~80mm f3.5 zoom lens. It's going dirt cheap and I have no illusions that it would be of high quality. But it might be rather fun to play with... sort of like taking photos with a Holga!

First of all, the 39mm focal length on the short end seemed odd, but I have confirmed that Sigma did, indeed, make such a lens. Secondly, I didn't realize that they'd made them in Leica R mounts! (I thought only Tamron had done that!)

I've got it being shipped in from an out of town store, to my local shop, so that I may have a look at it.

Meanwhile, anybody here know about/have experience with such a beast?

I'm curious!

Thanks.
