[net.rec.photo] Help with CPC Cannon-compatible 80-200mm f 4.5 lens

throopw@dg_rtp.UUCP (02/03/86)

I'm concidering getting a zoom lens, and the one in the "subject" is
available to me at an attractive price.  Does anybody know anything
about it?  Is is a worthy product?  I'm interested in this range
primarily because I like to stalk shots from quite a distance (for
inconspicuosity, mainly), and want the zoom to make framing such long
shots easier.  Given this use (framing reasonably small subject matter
in the medium distance) is the 80-200 the "correct" zoom, or would
something else be better?  (I currently swap a 50mm, a 90mm, and a 135mm
lens, and miss a lot of shots.)

Please respond by mail, and thanks for any help you can offer.
