Does anyone know much about these? I was given an 85-205 f3.8 zoom (Nikon AI) recently. It's certainly a curious beast - most manual focus zooms I've seen zoom by pushing and pulling on the focus ring. This one has a separate zoom ring. Plus, there's a separate macro ring, something I've never seen before.

Were these known as being any good? I've only shot about half a roll through it so far. Some shots look pretty good, but some are a little...off. In particular one of the close-ups is kind of fuzzy.

Oh well...I cleaned the front and back elements, and I'll have to put another roll through to investigate further.

For my wife and me, it's Leica or nothing!
