	I own a Canon AE-1 with a 50mm f1.8 lens.  For about the last
year, I've been thinking about buying a couple of lenses (a zoom and a
wide angle, or some such combination.) Recently, I've seen a lens made
by quantaray, a 35-205mm, f3.5 (I think), With macro.  Does anyone have
any experience with this or another wide range (eg 3x to 2xx mm) lens?
If these are actually pretty good lenses, it would seem to me to be the
way to go for someone like me (read: Joe Novice, who uses the camera
maybe once or twice a month for whatever).  I will probably get a little
more involved as time goes on, so would like to get something that will
last.... Any comments would be Appricieated.  Also what can you folks
tell me about nikon's new 500mm mirror lens?
