Y'know, other examples of that lens have surfaced on eBay. Clearly someone, somewhere, sometime, thought enough of them to buy them, and for use too.

I haven't been curious enough about 'em to buy one. Thank you for getting one. Please put it on a board and let us know how well it shoots.

Cheers,

Mount it on cardboard and tape it to the standard, if nothing else. At least you will find out if it's worth fooling with.
