Last week I received a Sigma AF Zoom Master 35-70mm f/3.5-4.5 Lens from the @bay, for only 11euro.My Plan was to use it on my D3200 and Nikon F55 & F75.
Product Description

- Aperture Maximum: f/3.5-4.5
- Aperture Minimum: f/16-22
- Camera Mount Type: Nikon F

- Minimum Focus Distance: 1.5ft
- Angle of View: 62-34°
- Elements/Groups: 8/7
- Image Stabilization: No
- Autofocus: Yes
- Tripod Collar: No
- Filter Thread: 52mm
The price was right because lens was in good working order and condition apart from the plastic cover on the focus scale window which was cracked with a small piece missing, although this does not affected the lens function.
The glass is clear and bright and the aperture works fine. It will not auto-focus on the digital cameras which do not have a drive pin such as the D40. So in my D3200 I can meter and I can have aperture control but no AF. Not bad! So I took it out for a test.
I think it is OK ,not super sharp AF not yet tested not in film bodies. Overall good solid lens that will be fun to use.
