I only have the 50mm f/1.8 lens that I got with my Canon AE-1 and was looking at old lenses online and found the Canon 35-105mm f3.5-4.5 for 25 dollarydoos which seems like a steal but in the description the seller wrote
"In good condition visually, although the zoom and especially the focus actions are not smooth compared to other FD lenses I have owned. It still focuses sharp but focusing feels scratchy. The glass is in quite good condition."
The scratchy feeling when focusing sounds like a red flag to me but im not sure. Should I get the lens anyway or does it sound like its not worth it? I'm assuming it would be pretty expensive to get a professional to take a look at the lens.
