I suspect it hasn't been used at all! I have been exercising the lens, but
my hand started to hurt (I'm not kidding) It has smooth focus when set to
200, but very stiff at 75mm, and the zooming from 75 to 200mm is very stiff
(and uneven) too, especially when the distance is set to about 5m, less whet
at infinity.
Thanks,
Miha
